Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh on Wednesday to discuss efforts to stop Israeli attacks on Gaza and Lebanon.

Saudi Al-Akhbariya channel aired footage of Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan welcoming the Iranian minister and his delegation in Riyadh.

According to AFP, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi visited Saudi Arabia at a time when Israel could launch a possible counterattack on Tehran at any time after the Iranian missile attack.

Israel has continued its offensive on Gaza and now Lebanon after the Hamas operation on October 7 last year, which has resulted in thousands of deaths.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghi said in his statement posted on X on Wednesday that ‘Abbas Araqchi is visiting the Gulf state to advance our diplomatic efforts.’

“The purpose of this visit is to focus on stopping the Israeli government’s genocide and aggression and alleviating the pain and suffering of our brothers and sisters in Gaza and Lebanon,” he added.

According to Iran’s official news agency IRNA, the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that consultations and coordination between the authorities of the two countries will be ensured in order to stop the crimes of the Israeli government in Riyadh.

He said that these talks will be held under diplomatic consultation and Iran’s coordination with regional countries to force the ‘Zionist regime’ to stop its ‘genocide’ and attacks.

The spokesman said that Iran is committed to strengthening relations with its neighboring countries to guarantee security and stability and promote economic cooperation.

A day ago, Abbas Araqchi told reporters at the Al-Aqsa Conference that Iran’s consultation on regional developments is ongoing.

According to the foreign minister, Iran’s policy is to support resistance against Israeli occupation.

Abbas Araqchi said that although Tehran is not afraid of war, it has repeatedly declared that it does not want to escalate tensions and that Iran is ready to deal with any situation.

Iran and Saudi Arabia restored ties in March 2023 under a deal brokered by China after seven years of diplomatic tensions.

Since Israel’s invasion of Gaza, Iran has repeatedly accused Israel of committing genocide and war crimes.

Abbas Araqchi said in Beirut on Friday that Tehran supports simultaneous ceasefire efforts in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, as the conflict in Lebanon escalated.

Iran described the October 7 attack by Hamas as a turning point in the history of the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people against Israel.
