WANA (Nov 20) – Iran’s Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, and Brazil’s Foreign Minister, Mauro Vieira, held a telephone conversation this afternoon to discuss bilateral relations and international developments.

 

During the call, both sides reviewed the current state of bilateral ties and emphasized the importance of expanding cooperation across all areas of mutual interest. They also underscored the need to strengthen collaboration within international organizations.

 

Araghchi highlighted the need to prevent certain countries from exploiting international institutions to pressure developing nations. He referred to what he described as an “improper move” by three European countries to pass a resolution against Iran at the IAEA Board of Governors meeting.

 

He stated that the initiative was an “irresponsible, provocative, and unjustified” action aligned with the political approach of those countries and the United States, aimed at reinstating previously annulled UN Security Council resolutions. Such a move, he argued, further undermines the IAEA’s credibility and its technical mandate.

 

The Iranian foreign minister called on all members of the IAEA Board of Governors to oppose the “illegal action” of the three European states.

 

Both ministers reiterated the importance of continued diplomatic cooperation and regular consultations, and discussed the path forward for future engagements.
