  • Monitoring Israeli Developments: Iran aims to closely observe any implications for the region and Palestine that might arise from Netanyahu’s trip.
  • Significance of Cultural Ties: He described Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s recent visit to Kabul as a natural initiative, underscoring the historical, cultural, and religious connections between Iran and Afghanistan.
  • Support for Syrian Governance: Baghaei stated Iran’s intention to recognize any Syrian government that reflects the collective will of the Syrian people, expressing hope for a government that represents all societal layers.
  • Concerns Over Swedish Actions: In response to the arrest and deportation of Mohsen Hakim Elahi, a prayer leader from the Imam Ali Islamic Center, Baghaei criticized Sweden’s allegations as baseless and unconstructive.
  • Negotiations on Sanctions: He indicated that Iran would engage in negotiations if it determines that such discussions would secure its interests.
  • Ongoing Violence in Gaza: Baghaei condemned the Israeli regime for continuing its actions in the Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire, urging the international community to prevent the normalization of violence and to support proceedings at the International Court of Justice.
