Lavrov met with the ambassadors of Arab countries and stressed restraint in the region

According to Isna, Maria Zakharova, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of this country, Sergey Lavrov, discussed the tensions in the West Asian region with the ambassadors of the Arab countries in Russia today (Wednesday) in Moscow.

Sputnik News agency reported that Zakharova told reporters: Today, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had a meeting with the heads of diplomatic missions of Arab countries in Moscow, which was done at their request. Their request was made late yesterday evening.

Lavrov stressed: All parties to the conflict in the Middle East must exercise self-restraint.

This meeting was carried out following Iran’s legitimate military response to the aggressive and terrorist actions of the Zionist regime in the region and through the large-scale missile operation “Sadegh 2” against the occupied territories.

In recent days, the Zionist regime has increased its attacks against southern Lebanon, which led to the martyrdom of “Syed Hasan Nasrallah”, the Secretary General of Hezbollah in Lebanon, and “Syed Abbas Nilfroushan”, Iran’s senior military adviser in Lebanon.

Last August, the Zionist regime assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, the late head of the political office of Hamas, who had traveled to Tehran to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the Iranian president, at his residence in Tehran. This act was considered by Iran as cross-border terrorism and a violation of Iran’s national sovereignty, and it was promised that this Zionist regime would not remain unanswered with “severe punishments”.

Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, referring to Iran’s restraint for more than 2 months following the terrorist attack of the Zionist regime and the martyrdom of Haniyeh in Tehran, and the continuation of this regime’s war-mongering in Gaza and its expansion into Lebanon, which has so far led to the martyrdom of more than Of the 42,000 people oppressed in Gaza and Lebanon, he said that the Islamic Republic of Iran only used its right to legitimate defense based on Article 51 of the United Nations Charter and exclusively targeted the military and security bases of the Zionist regime.

Sputnik quoted Zakharova, the spokesperson of the Russian Foreign Ministry, as reporting that Moscow wants all parties to the conflict to exercise restraint and prevent further deterioration of the situation.
