Key points from his remarks include:

  • Condemnation: The Iranian diplomat condemned the U.S.-Israeli actions as contrary to international norms.
  • Call to Action: He urged the international community to oppose these actions decisively.
  • Emergency Meeting: Araghchi encouraged Gambia to organize an urgent meeting of OIC foreign ministers to discuss the situation.

In response, Tangara acknowledged Iran’s commitment to the Palestinian cause and welcomed the suggestion for an emergency OIC meeting. He indicated that he would engage in consultations and coordinate with other member nations to address this critical issue.

This conversation highlights the ongoing diplomatic efforts within the OIC to tackle the escalating situation in Gaza and support the Palestinian people amidst the current crisis.
