Amir Abdollahian: We will not allow them to play with Iran’s national security

According to the reporter of Fars news agency’s foreign policy group, Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said today (Wednesday) on January 27th at the Davos summit and in a conversation with Fareed Zakaria about the attack on the Mossad headquarters in Erbil by the IRGC. What happened in Erbil is a matter related to Mossad agents, and Mossad agents of the Israeli regime carried out operations inside Iran, and Israel clearly accepted the responsibility.

* We will respond with force to any action of Israel

He added: Iran, any action taken by The Israeli regime will respond with force against the security of our people. We targeted the headquarters of Mossad in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq with precision missiles. This does not mean targeting Iraq, but Israel is the common enemy of Iraq and Iran. This point that we respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq, he said: the information of our security forces about the place that was targeted in Iraqi Kurdistan is accurate information. The Mossad agents and agents who were involved in making Iran insecure and accepted responsibility were aimed at countering our actions. They are currently investigating the issue. Our detailed information confirms that the targeted point belongs to the Mossad and there was no mistake on the part of Iran.

We have security that this agreement commits the government and local authorities of Iraqi Kurdistan to maintain the security of our borders and is within the framework of legitimate defense against Israel’s abuse of the Iraqi Kurdistan region against Iran’s national security.

* None of the citizens of Pakistan have been targeted by Iran’s drones and missiles

The foreign minister added: “Before this conversation, I had a conversation with my colleague, the foreign minister of Pakistan.

Amir Abdullahian stated that we respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan as well as the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq, he clarified: but we will not allow them to play the national security of our country and there is no compromise in ensuring the national security of our country with the parties We do not have terrorists inside Pakistan and Israeli movements in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

The foreign minister said: The action we took is aimed at helping the security of Iran, Pakistan, Iraq and the region. We consider the security of Iraq and Pakistan to be the security of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

* America made two strategic mistakes

In response to Farid Zakaria’s question, the head of the diplomatic service stated that he agrees with you that we are witnessing the development of crisis and tension in the West Asian region today and stated: But its root is October 7th will not return. Hamas is a Palestinian liberation group that has carried out an operation against the occupation for the liberation of Palestine. Of course, we do not accept the killing of women, children and civilians anywhere in the world, but the root is not in October 7, but the root is in 75 years ago and the occupation of Palestine by the Israeli regime.

He continued: We Since the beginning of Israel’s genocide in Gaza after the October 7 operation, we have warned that if the war and genocide in Gaza and the war crimes against Gaza and the West Bank are not stopped, the scope of the war will expand. This was not because of Iran’s role in expanding the scope of the war, it was because of Iran’s correct understanding of the conditions in the region.

According to Fars report, Amir Abdullahian noted: As a result, fronts from the countries he mentioned It was opened in support of Gaza. America made two strategic mistakes, the first mistake was that it accompanied the Israeli regime with all its might in addition to the war and genocide against Gaza, and this companionship continues until this moment.

Dum stated: The second mistake was that he dragged the conflict to the Red Sea and over Yemen and started killing the passengers of the Yemeni boats. Shipping security and maritime security are of serious concern to the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Yemen also believes in this, but the security of the Red Sea today is tied to the developments in Gaza.

The foreign minister noted: We will all be harmed if the genocide and crimes of Israel in Gaza do not stop and the various fronts remain active. Israel carried out in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and against Jaish al-Adl, an Iranian terrorist group inside Pakistan, has nothing to do with the situation in Gaza.

* Not a military solution

He stated that Israel is an apartheid and occupying regime, and stated: Hamas is a liberation movement. We do not support the killing of civilians, women and children anywhere in the world, but the solution is not a military one, but the solution is to ensure the rights of the Palestinians.

He stated that we have news that These days, Yemen and Saudi Arabia are close to a final peace agreement, he added: We believe that the entry of the United States and the insecurity of the Red Sea will not benefit this important regional agreement. We will all benefit from safe shipping and navigation. Yemenis also believe this. What happened is related to the war and genocide in Gaza and Yemen’s support for Palestine and Gaza.

The foreign minister continued: Stopping the genocide in Gaza means stopping attacks and other crises in Gaza. region.

* At any moment there is a possibility of increasing the intensity of the war

In response to the question of whether Lebanon’s Hezbollah will join the war, the head of the diplomatic service said: “I have met with Mr. Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary General of Lebanon’s Hezbollah, twice in the last 100 days.” 48 hours before the temporary humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, I asked him if Israel’s attacks on Gaza stop, will Hezbollah’s attacks stop? He said yes, we are conducting military operations to support the oppressed people of Palestine, and if we stop, we will stop. Hezbollah was not shot and Hezbollah remained committed. Of course, a new thing happened in the past days. Since 2006, in an unwritten agreement, the capitals in Tel Aviv and Beirut have not been targeted. Israel, which did not achieve anything in Gaza except killing women, children and civilians, moved the battle and terror front outside Gaza and assassinated one of the leaders of Hamas in Beirut. Israel’s military attacks on the Lebanese capital have created new conditions.

Amir Abdallahian added: Of course, stopping the genocide in Gaza can lead to the stopping of conflicts in southern Lebanon and the northern territories of the Israeli regime. But don’t forget that today Lebanon is involved in a war and today we are witnessing a war in the Red Sea and today we are witnessing the genocide and the intensity of the war and keeping the Palestinian people hungry in Gaza and the West Bank. This means that the war continues and there is a possibility of an increase in the intensity of the war at any moment.

According to Fars, this high-ranking Iranian diplomat stated that Netanyahu must understand that war is not the solution and that Hamas will be destroyed by war. It will not happen and the Israeli prisoners will not be freed by the war and he added: the solution is clear, stop the war, open humanitarian corridors and stop the forced migration of Palestinians from Gaza to the Sinai desert of Egypt and the exchange of prisoners.

* America is worried about the administration of post-war Gaza

He added: Today America Concerned about the administration of post-war Gaza. For the post-war administration of Gaza, there are ideas in the discussions we had with the Palestinian leaders. The most democratic idea is to pay attention to the views of all Palestinian leaders with all tastes and views and hold a referendum among the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. We heard from the Palestinians that it will continue its activities, but there are solutions available in terms of realizing the rights of the Palestinians in a democratic and electoral method, under the supervision of the United Nations, but Netanyahu still thinks that the solution is in war and he relies on the United States. All the leaders in our region believe that if the war stops today, 10 minutes later, Netanyahu will not be able to continue the war without the support of America. We have paid attention to the existence of the region and we do not consider war as a solution in any way and under any circumstances. There are diplomatic channels between Iran and the United States

The head of the diplomatic service, in the continuation of his conversation with Farid Zakaria about the Vienna talks, said: We are in the government of Mr. Raisi and In the current government of Iran, we started talks with European parties as well as indirect talks with America, and finally these talks were met with an initiative by the Sultan of Oman.

He added: the purpose of these talks Indirectly, the Sultan of Oman’s effort is to bring the views closer and return all parties to the JCPOA. We still welcome any action that will help all parties return to their commitments in the JCPOA.

Amir Abdollahian stated that there is still an exchange of messages between Iran and the United States through diplomatic channels and said: sanctions applied to Iran is unilateral and illegal, and we consider it our natural right to export oil and energy within the framework of international law. America is not the master of the world and the god of the world that wants to make decisions about other countries. We defend our rights and export our oil within the framework of international law.

* No drones and missiles We have not given Russia any drones or missiles to be used in the Ukraine war. We have not used it in the Ukraine war. Less than 11 months ago, in the agreement I had with the foreign minister of Ukraine, I told him that if Iranian drones or weapons were used in Ukraine, please provide us with the documents. Oman met and discussed for several hours. The Ukrainian team had no evidence to prove this claim and said that we will go to Kiev and present the documents to you again in the next meeting. We followed up with the Ukrainian side many times and we were not presented with a document.

The foreign minister continued: We handed over Iranian drones to various countries in the form of defense cooperation. It is not our responsibility for a country to copy an Iranian drone model, but even in that case, Ukraine has not yet presented us with a document. As we consider the killing of civilians, women and children in Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria to be wrong, we condemn the war and the killing of women, children and civilians in Ukraine and believe that war is not the solution. Therefore, we have repeatedly asked Russia, which has a strong relationship with this country in various fields, whether Iranian weapons have been used by you in Ukraine in the framework of our defense cooperation. We have not used them in the war against Ukraine.

He continued: Until now, Ukraine has claimed in the media that Iranian drones have not provided us with a single document. Even I asked more than three times to Josep Borrell, the foreign policy officer of the European Union, to encourage the Ukrainian side in their communications to provide us with a document if there is one. Such a thing is a baseless accusation. War is not the solution neither in Ukraine nor in Gaza.

* The Islamic Republic of Iran is not isolated

According to Fars report, the head of the diplomatic service, in the continuation of his conversation with Farid Zakaria, stated that we did not recognize Israel, and stated: Israel is an occupying power. The fact that Palestine has been under occupation for 75 years does not create a right for Israel. Although Algeria was under the occupation of a country for decades, the long occupation of Algeria has finally ended. . But we have seen that some countries that normalized their relationship with Israel during the Trump era with Trump’s pressure, not only did not benefit but faced more problems.

The foreign minister added: Today, Israel is in the most severe isolation situation in the region. The Islamic Republic of Iran is not isolated. The Islamic Republic of Iran is a positive and constructive part of developments in the region. For us, the security and development and progress of the region are important.

Amir Abdallahian noted: In our government, we paid attention to the policy of increasing and constructive cooperation with the region and all parts of the world and with the neighbors. . Dialogue and development of relations with all parties, including the western parties, is of concern to our government.

He continued: We will respond to the action based on mutual respect by the American government with reciprocal action and mutual respect. gave The problem that exists now is that we finally reached an agreement with America in 2015. JCPOA emphasized obligations for all parties. That agreement in the Security Council led to an official and recognized resolution. America broke its promise. For us, it is America, we do not distinguish between Trump, Obama and Biden.

The foreign minister added: When the nuclear agreement reached the final stage, it began to be violated since the time of President Obama, and the worst The decision was made by Trump, however, we in our government announced our readiness for all parties to return to their commitments in the JCPOA, but the United States reneged on its commitment. America, and now we see traces of those bad promises in parts of the limited agreements we had with America in the past months. Bad faith seems to be a constant part of American foreign policy. There is no difference between governments.

* We will not leave America’s unfriendly actions unanswered

He stated that we will respond to America’s commitment to the agreement with a mutual commitment, adding: We will respond to mutual respect with the same literature and language, but America’s non-constructive behavior is unfriendly actions. We will not leave America unanswered. It is in the interest of peace and security in the world that the US changes its approach from war and confrontation to sustainable peace and security. According to Fars, the head of the diplomatic service continued the conversation with Farid Zakaria. Mentioning that we are always a positive part of regional developments, he said: In the past years, our best military advisors were martyred to fight ISIS in Iraq, Syria and the region. The security of the region is the security of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
