Speaking during a signing ceremony for a memorandum of understanding to restore damaged healthcare infrastructure, Araqchi stated that Iran has proven its status as an "unbeatable power" and astonished the world through its performance on the ground and in diplomacy.
Iran’s official news agency, IRNA, quoted Araqchi as saying that Tehran forced Washington to retreat from its firm stance, noting that US President Donald Trump initiated the conflict demanding Iran's unconditional surrender, only to seek negotiations just 20 days later.
The Iranian Foreign Minister mentioned that his administration received widespread praise from officials in several countries, who acknowledged Iran's success in resolving the confrontation in its favor on both military and diplomatic fronts simultaneously.
In a related context, Araqchi discussed regional developments and updates regarding the Strait of Hormuz crisis with his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, informing him of ongoing consultations with Muscat to establish safe navigation mechanisms.
Araqchi held the US and Israeli sides responsible for regional insecurity, clarifying that resolving the crisis requires lifting the naval blockade and ceasing violations, while both parties reaffirmed their commitment to exchanging views and maintaining continuous diplomatic coordination between the two countries.
