Svmuu News According to Iranian media reports on the 22nd, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz is a direct result of the military strikes launched by the United States and Israel against a UN member state. The report said that Araghchi held a phone conversation with Italian Foreign Minister Tajani to exchange views on the developments in the regional situation and the security, legal, and economic impacts of the U.S.-Israeli military strikes against Iran. Araghchi said that Iran, as a coastal state of the Strait of Hormuz, has taken measures in accordance with international law to safeguard its national security from U.S.-Israeli aggression and threats. He emphasized that the resulting consequences for the global economy should be borne by the aggressors. Araghchi also stated that the U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities are unacceptable, and the silence of some European countries regarding such actions is undermining international law and non-proliferation mechanisms through this "double standard." Tajani emphasized that achieving peace and stability in the Persian Gulf region is crucial, and Italy is willing to play an active role in promoting overall regional stability. (Xinhua News Agency)
