  • Call for International Unity: The Iranian diplomat emphasized the urgent need for a consolidated response from the international community, particularly Islamic nations, against what he termed ‘the dangerous plot’ orchestrated by the U.S.
  • Efforts to Mobilize Support: Araghchi mentioned his recent discussions with various Islamic countries, including the Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Secretary General of the United Nations, to garner support against the ethnic cleansing occurring in Gaza.
