"
Araghchi, for his part, thanked the Irish counterpart for his congratulations and considered the further development of relations based on mutual respect with Ireland as possible and accessible.
Regarding the developments in West Asia, the Iranian foreign minister said that the Islamic Republic of Iran supports any ceasefire agreement that is acceptable to Hamas and the Palestinian people. Meanwhile, he emphasized the need to immediately stop the war against the people of Gaza.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran wants to de-escalate the tension in the region, but Netanyahu and the Zionist regime are seeking to spread violence and spill it over to other regions, including the West Bank.
