Abbas Araghchi made the remarks late on Wednesday in a telephone conversation with EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas.
During the phone call, they discussed the ongoing US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran and its repercussions in the region and beyond.
Araghchi briefed EU foreign policy chief on the latest situation in the Persian Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz, emphasizing that the insecurity in the region is the direct result of the war imposed by the United States on Iran.
Iran’s top diplomat warned of the dangerous consequences of the US’s plots to drag other countries into its war against Iran.
“Disruption in shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is the result of the US-Israeli imposed war. If the European Union and European countries are concerned about peace and security in the region, they should exert pressure on the aggressors and stop their military aggression against the Iranian nation, instead of adopting irresponsible stances,” Foreign Minister Araghchi said.
He also referred to the US-Israeli attacks on the residential sites including homes, hospitals, and schools, saying that all governments share the responsibility to condemn these crimes.
He also said that the Islamic Republic of Iran is determined to continue defending its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The top diplomat meanwhile criticized the hypocritical stances by some European countries and senior EU officials about the US-Israeli aggression, emphasizing that any support or appeasement toward the law-breaking behavior of the two regimes amount to complicity in their crimes against the Iranian nation.
The EU foreign policy chief, for his part, expressed her deep concern over security, humanitarian, and economic repercussions of the war, saying that the bloc calls for an immediate halt to the ongoing conflict.
