Iran’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian has held talks with Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah focusing on the Gaza war.

The two sides mainly focused on regional developments, in particular the Zionist regime’s crimes against the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the IRNA reported on Friday.

Amirabdollahian has embarked on a regional tour, starting with Iraq, to discuss the ongoing situation in the Palestinian territories, including the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to severe airstrikes by the Zionist regime over the past six days.

Amirabdollahian departed from Tehran for Baghdad on Thursday, where he met with high-ranking Iraqi officials, including his counterpart Fuad Hussein.

Following his visit to Iraq, the Iranian diplomat proceeded to Lebanon and held a meeting with the Prime Minister of Lebanon, Najib Mikati on Friday morning.

Upon his arrival in the  Beirut–Rafic Hariri International Airport, Iran’s Foreign Minister said that we are in Beirut to announce loudly, together with Islamic countries and governments, that we will not tolerate the Zionist regime's crime against the people of Gaza.

Amirabdollahian emphasized that the Islamic Republic will continue to support the Palestinian nation and the resistance movement in the occupied territories.

" Some Western officials asked me if it is possible to open new fronts against the Zionist regime, and I said that continuing war crimes by the Zionists, any possibility from other resistance currents is possible", he added.

Before his departure, Amirabdollahian addressed reporters in Tehran, stating that the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories is the primary source of crises in West Asia.

He also said that the Zionist regime is attempting to massacre the entire population of the Gaza Strip by committing war crimes against civilians, imposing a total blockade, and depriving Palestinians of essential necessities such as electricity and water.
