Amir Abdollahian: We respond to every Israeli action with force/we respect the sovereignty of Iraq and Pakistan

According to the international group Tasnim News Agency Hossein Amir Abdullahian Wazir On the sidelines of the Davos meeting, the foreign ministry of our country said in a conversation with Farid Zakaria: We have good relations with Pakistan and Iraq. We talked with both countries about the necessity of countering terrorism and securing common borders. What happened yesterday in Erbil, Iraq is a matter related to Mossad agents. Mossad agents carried out operations in Iran and openly accepted.

We targeted the Mossad headquarters in the Kurdistan Region with a precision missile

Amir Abdullahian pointed out that Iran will respond with force to any action taken by the Israeli regime, and continued: We hit the Mossad headquarters in the Kurdistan region with missiles. We aimed precisely. This does not mean targeting Iraq. Israel is our common enemy. The information of our security forces regarding the targeted location is accurate. Mossad agents and brokers who were involved in making Iran unsafe were the targets of our action. Our security officials are talking with Iraq’s national security advisor.

The foreign minister, referring to Iran’s security agreement with Iraq, added: We have a security agreement with Iraq. . The government and local authorities of Kurdistan pledged to maintain our border security. Our action is in this framework and in the framework of confronting Israel’s abuse. We do not have in Pakistan and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq

Amir Abdullahian, emphasizing that in Iran’s operations against terrorist groups in Pakistan, none of the nationals Pakistanis have not been targeted by Iran, he added: A group called Jaish al-Adl, which is an Iranian group, took refuge in Pakistan and we talked to the Pakistani authorities many times, they carried out an operation in Iran, including in Rask. Our answer is to Iranian terrorists. I had a conversation with the Foreign Minister of Pakistan earlier. We respect the sovereignty of Pakistan and Iraq, but we do not allow them to play with our security, and we have no sympathy with the terrorist parties in Pakistan and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Our action is aimed at helping the security of Iran, Pakistan, Iraq and the region.

The root of the crisis in the region is 75 years ago and the occupation of Palestine

The head of Iran’s diplomatic service pointed out that in the West Asia region today we are witnessing the development of crisis and tension , said: The root of the crisis does not go back to October 7. Hamas is a Palestinian liberation group that has carried out operations against the occupation. We do not accept the killing of women and children anywhere. The root of the crisis is 75 years ago and the occupation of Palestine. We have warned since the beginning of Israel’s genocide in Gaza that if the war in Gaza and war crimes are not stopped, the scope of the war will expand. He continued: This is because of the role of Iran. The absence was due to Iran’s correct understanding of the conditions in the region. America made two mistakes. First, he accompanied the Israeli regime. Second, he dragged the conflict to the Red Sea and Yemen. Shipping security is Iran’s concern. Yemen believes in this. The security of the Red Sea is tied to the developments in Gaza, and we will all suffer if the crime in Gaza does not stop and the various fronts remain active.

Operations against the Mossad base in the Kurdistan Region and Jaish al-Adl inside Pakistan have nothing to do with the situation in Gaza

Amir Abdullahian Pointing out that Iran’s operation against Mossad positions and terrorist groups has nothing to do with the situation in Gaza, he said: The operation that was carried out in the last 24 hours on the Mossad base in the Kurdistan Region and Jaish al-Adl inside Pakistan has nothing to do with the situation in Gaza. We do not consider Hamas a terrorist group. Hamas is the Palestinian liberation movement against the occupation of Palestine. 75 years of occupation of Palestine is a reality. Palestinians are human beings and their rights must be guaranteed. Even what the UN resolution refers to has been ignored by Israel. When a war breaks out, the two rules of separation and proportionality must be observed. In Israel’s retaliatory operation, the principle of separation was not respected and 24 thousand Palestinians were killed. Second, the principle of proportionality was not observed. Should 10 times more Palestinians be killed in counter-operations? Israel is an apartheid and occupying regime. The solution is not military and it is in securing the rights of Palestinians.

Iran emphasizes on maritime security >

The foreign minister of Iran, referring to the importance of maritime security for our country, said: We emphasize on maritime security. Our business, our oil export is through the sea, and the security of the seas is our emphasis and we are profiting. We have news that Yemen and Saudi Arabia are close to an agreement and we believe that insecurity will not benefit this agreement. What happened is related to the genocide in Gaza and Yemen’s support for Palestine. Stopping the genocide in Gaza will lead us to stop other attacks. We are always a positive part of developments in the region. In the past years, our best advisers were martyred to fight against terrorists in the region. The security of the region is the security of Iran.

Stopping the genocide in Gaza can lead to stopping the conflicts in southern Lebanon.

In response to a question about the conflict between Lebanon’s Hezbollah and the Zionist regime, he said: I had a meeting with Mr. Nasrallah in the last 100 days. 48 hours after the truce in Gaza, I asked him if Israel’s attacks stop, will Hezbollah’s attacks stop? He said yes. The world witnessed that not a single shot was fired by Hezbollah during the ceasefire. Since 2006, in an unwritten agreement, the capitals have not been targeted, but Israel has moved the assassination outside Gaza and assassinated a Hezbollah operative in Beirut. Stopping the genocide in Gaza can lead to stopping the conflicts in southern Lebanon. Today, we are witnessing the genocide and the intensity of the war keeping the Palestinian people hungry. This means the war continues. Netanyahu must understand that war is not the solution and Israeli prisoners will not be freed. The solution is clear; Stopping the war, stopping the forced migration and exchange of prisoners. There are solutions for the post-war administration in dialogue with the Palestinian leaders. The solution is to hold a referendum between the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. The resistance against the occupation will continue to operate. Netanyahu thinks the solution is in war and relies on America. We focus on political solution and we do not consider war as a solution.

The American side of will It is necessary to be friendly and an agreement can be reached

Amir Abdallahian said regarding the negotiations to lift the sanctions: We in the government of Mr. Raisi, hold talks with the European parties. And we started indirect with America. Finally, these talks were met with the initiative of Oman. The purpose of these indirect conversations is to bring the point of view closer. We continue to welcome any action that will help all parties return to their JCPOA commitments. We think that if the American side has the necessary will, an agreement can be reached.

No drones and missiles We did not give it to Russia for use in the Ukraine war

The foreign minister of our country said about the accusations against Iran regarding sending drones to Russia in the Ukraine war Regarding Ukraine, we did not give Russia any drones or missiles to use in the war. In my call with the foreign minister of Ukraine, I told them to provide us with the documents and we agreed that a team from the two countries should meet in Oman. The Ukrainian team did not have evidence to prove and said that we will present the documents later. No document was provided to us. We handed over Iranian drones to different countries. It is not our responsibility if a country copies the Iranian model. Ukraine has not yet submitted a document. We condemn the war in Ukraine just as we condemn the killing of civilians in Gaza, Iraq and Syria. The solution is not in war. We asked Russia if any weapons from Iran were used in the framework of defense cooperation. Their answer is that we did not use any Iranian weapons. Even I asked Mr. Burrell more than three times to encourage the Ukrainian side to present. Such a thing is a baseless accusation.

Amir Abdullahian said regarding Iran’s oil exports: Sanctions against Iran are unilateral and illegal. We know our right to export oil within the framework of international law. America is not the master of the world. We defend our rights and we defend our oil exports within the framework of international law.

Iran the positive There are changes in the region

He also said: We did not recognize Israel. The fact that Palestine has been under occupation for 75 years does not create a right for Israel. What the countries of the region decide to do in their interactions is up to them, but we have seen that some countries that normalized their relationship with Israel due to Trump’s pressure faced more problems. Iran is not isolated. Iran is a positive part of developments in the region. The security of the region is important to us. In our government, we paid attention to the policy of increasing cooperation with the region and neighbors. The foreign policy of the United States is constant. We will reciprocate from the US with countermeasures. The problem that exists now is that we reached an agreement in 2015. The nuclear deal emphasized obligations for all. That agreement led to a formal resolution, the US defaulted. For us, it is America, we do not distinguish between Trump and Biden. When the nuclear deal reached its final stage, it began to be violated since Obama’s time, and Trump made the worst decision. America broke its promise. We made agreements with America, and now we are witnessing signs of bad faith. It seems that bad faith is part of the constant of American foreign policy and there is no difference between governments. We will not leave America’s non-constructive behavior unanswered. It is in the interest of peace and security in the world that America changes its approach from confrontation to peace.
