Abbas Araghchi

Israel struck targets in Iran on October 26 in retaliation for an Iranian missile barrage against Israel on October 1.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told his French counterpart Jean-Noel Barrot that the push from France, Germany, and Britain to submit a resolution against Tehran would "complicate matter."

Iranian state media initially did not provide many details of the meeting, except that they discussed “various issues.”

The talks with Central Asian states come after a recent BRICS meeting that Iran attended.

Iranian FM Araghchi allegedly said Iran is monitoring not only American bases in the region but also tracking their flights.

Defense Minister Yoav Gallant updated US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin Saturday on the progress the IDF has made against Hezbollah in Lebanon.

As Iran's foreign minister makes his tour, it is in contrast to his Israeli counterparts, who have not made any regional tours like this or have not been able to do much outreach since October 7.

Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi tours region, seeking alliances against Israel, focusing on Gaza conflict, and discussing ties with Iraq, Oman.

So far, 2024 has seen enormous upheaval in the evolution of the war between Iran and Israel, so often fought in the shadows.

The decision would be implemented in an attempt to prepare for an Iranian response to an Israel strike.
