Iran’s Acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri has held talks on the phone with Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó whose country holds the rotating presidency of the European Union regarding the importance of maintaining stability and security in the region and condemning the Zionist regime’s acts in violation of international law as well as the legitimate right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to defend its security, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Bagheri said a review of the history of the Zionist attacks on Gaza will show that the targets of the Israelis are mainly civilian places, hospitals, residential houses, children, women and defenseless people.

He added that the recent act of the Zionists is a violation of Iran’s national security and sovereignty as well as regional peace and stability, and for this reason, their action is considered a threat to international peace and security.
Bagheri said it is necessary to stand up against this evil entity that is the root cause of instability in the region and to take countermeasures in accordance with international law so that the other side cannot step up its acts of aggression in the region.

Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó said his country is willing and ready to continue the dialogue with Iran. Szijjártó said Hungary is extremely worried about what is happening to Lebanon and the escalation of tension in the region.

He stressed that the international community should do whatever it can to prevent any escalation of tension and crisis because the tensions potentially pose a threat to Europe too.

Szijjártó said he was pleased to speak with Bagheri on the phone, adding that Hungary is following the developments in the region and hopes to witness the continuation of close consultations with Iran.
