The text of the Statement by Dr. Araghchi, the Honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs of I.R. Iran

Addressing the Foreign Ambassadors Residing in Tehran

We are of the firm belief that the region will not see peace until the aggression in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon is stopped. We have provided a logical and operational solution for a sustainable, just and inclusive solution in the region, which is based on the recognition of the inherent rights of the Palestinian people to self-determination. Based on this approach, we believe that the lasting solution for the Palestinian issue is a democratic one, for Palestinian lands belong to the Palestinian people, and therefore any decision about the future of Palestine must be made by its original inhabitants, including Muslims, Christians and Jews.
