Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi asserted the country's right to self-defense in discussions with Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar amid the ongoing US-Israel-Iran conflict.

As the conflict involving the US, Israel, and Iran enters its 14th day, the repercussions are being felt in various regions, including India, particularly affecting LPG supply. Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar held discussions with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to address the current geopolitical situation and regional stability concerns. During the talks, Araghchi condemned the attacks on Iran and expressed the need for acknowledgment of the impact such actions have on regional and global stability.

Araghchi emphasized Iran's commitment to exercising its legitimate right to self-defense, highlighting that the Iranian government, people, and armed forces are resolute in their stance against aggression. He urged regional and international organizations to condemn military actions against Iran, seeking broader support against perceived threats from the US and Israel. The dialogue reflects growing tensions and the complex dynamics at play in international relations, especially within the context of alliances and the need for peacekeeping.

In addition to discussing military interventions, Araghchi noted the crucial role of platforms like BRICS in maintaining global stability. This point underscores a shift towards seeking multilateral approaches to diplomacy in light of unilateral military actions. The conversation between the two ministers signifies a continued effort by Iran to garner support from other nations, particularly those in influential positions to address the ongoing crisis and promote a more stable geopolitical environment.
