In a telephone conversation with his German counterpart, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, said: “When the Israeli regime endangers the immunity of people and diplomatic places by violating international law and the Vienna Conventions, legitimate defense with the aim of punishing the aggressor is imperative.”
In a telephone conversation between the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany, Annalena Baerbock, and the top Iranian diplomat, the two sides discussed the latest developments in the region and bilateral relations based on the necessity of maintaining the dialogue path.
Amirabdollahian, referring to the terrorist airstrike by the Zionist regime on the consular section of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Damascus, which resulted in the martyrdom of seven Iranian official military advisers, noted: “The foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran has always been to stay away from tension.”
The top Iranian diplomat pointed to Tehran’s expectation of Berlin to condemn the crimes of the Israeli regime explicitly.
He also raised a question as to whether the United States and Europe would take a similar reaction to a similar missile attack on one of the diplomatic places in a similar war environment in Ukraine, and said, “Israel is an occupying regime, and Palestine does have the right to defend itself. In this way, the only avenue to resolve the outstanding problems is to end the genocide and war crimes in Gaza.”
Referring to the statement of the German foreign minister regarding a ceasefire in Gaza, Amirabdollahian said: “The reason why Germany’s efforts to establish a ceasefire in Gaza have been fruitless should be found in the lack of German neutrality in this genocide.”
Iran’s foreign minister added: “When the Israeli regime completely violates the inviolability of individuals and diplomats in accordance with international law and the Vienna Conventions, legitimate defense is imperative.”
Welcoming efforts to resolve the misunderstanding between Tehran and Berlin, Amirabdollahian said: “We expect Germany not to repeat baseless accusations against Iran and to defend the rights of thousands of women and children in Gaza and other parts of the world, where women’s rights are constantly violated.”
The top German diplomat, for her part, congratulated the arrival of the Muslim Eid and emphasized that Eid ul-Fitr is a messenger of peace, saying: “In this tense situation, Germany requests restraint from the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Regarding the attack of the Israeli regime on the consular section of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus, she stated: “We have clearly emphasized that diplomatic places enjoy full immunity.”
Addressing the developments in Palestine, Baerbock said: “The German government has tried and is trying to end the war in Gaza through a political solution.”
