Tehran, Iran – Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi ruled out on Friday the possibility of a new US or Israeli military attack on his country.

Speaking at a press conference following his visit to the Lebanese capital, Beirut, Araqchi added
that “the developments inside Iran are due to the economic situation.
The government is consulting with various groups to find a solution to the unrest”.

and reject the occupation of its territory. Syria’s stability is crucial for all countries in the region”.

between the two countries in the economic, trade, and political spheres”.
