Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi will visit Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region to discuss regional issues and work on stopping Israel’s “crimes” in Gaza and Lebanon, Reuters reports citing Iran’s state media.
Gulf Arab states — most of them major energy exporters like Iran — have sought to reassure Tehran of their neutrality in the Iran-Israel conflict, sources told Reuters last week.
“Our dialogue continues in regards to the developments in the region to prevent the shameless crimes of the Zionist regime (Israel) in Lebanon in continuation of the crimes in Gaza,” Araqchi said in a video carried by state media.
“Starting today I’ll start a trip to the region, to Riyadh and other capitals in the region and we will strive to have a collective movement from the countries of the region… to stop the brutal attacks in Lebanon”, Araqchi added.
