Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and the European Union Foreign Policy Chief Josef Borrell exchanged views at the initiative of the EU’s top diplomat. In the telephone conversation, Amirabdollahian and Borrell discussed the latest developments regarding Ukraine crisis and the sanctions removal talks. On the claims of using Iranian drones in the Ukraine war, Amirabdollahian said Iran has defense cooperation with Russia, but Tehran's policy regarding the Ukraine war is to respect the country's territorial integrity. He said Iran does not send arms to the warring sides in Ukraine and wants an end to the war and an end to the displacement of people. The Iranian foreign minister underlined that the Islamic Republic is making an effort to stop the hostilities in Ukraine through diplomacy and it advises the Europeans to view the issue with a realistic approach.Amirabdollahian said Iran is opposed to war and it vehemently rejects claims that it has given Russia drones for use in the conflict in Ukraine. The top Iranian diplomat stressed that the Islamic Republic of Iran has a strong popular support base and an efficient democracy but some European officials supported rioting, terrorism and vandalism in Iran due to the wrong analysis of the situation and under the pretext of defending human rights. He described this as an uncalculated, unconstructive and meddlesome move on the part of the Europeans that was politically motivated. Amirabdollahian underscored that Iran's foreign policy is focused on logic, rationality and diplomacy and it does not build on double standards. During the telephone conversation, the EU foreign policy chief also expressed hope that cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency over safeguards issues will continue. Borrell said Iran's policy to refuse to send arms and drones for use in the Ukraine war is important and worthy of appreciation. Amirabdollahian and Borrell then described the negotiations aimed at removing the anti-Iran sanctions as positive and progressing.
