Describing the heinous crimes committed by the US and the Zionist regime during the 35th days of military aggression against Iran, Araghchi emphasized the responsibility of all governments to condemn this blatant violation of the international law and the terrorist crimes of the US and the Zionist regime, including attacks on Iran's production and industrial infrastructures, schools, hospitals, and universities and scientific centers.
Iran’s top diplomat stressed that Iran is determined to use all its power and capacity to defend the country's national sovereignty, and territorial integrity.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Iran’s top diplomat referred to the measures taken by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that Iran's actions in this strait are in line with international law and are aimed at preventing aggressors and their partners from misusing this waterway to carry out their aggression against Iran.

Reisinger announced Austria's readiness to make significant efforts in this regard.
