The talks also covered the situation in Gaza, the ongoing Israeli attacks in the occupied Palestinian territories, and repeated aggressions against regional countries, including the recent strike on Qatar. Both sides commended Tunisia’s support for the Palestinian people and underscored the need for regional countries to coordinate efforts to end Israel’s warmongering.

 

According to reports, before traveling to Tunisia, Araghchi visited Egypt, where he met with the Egyptian president and foreign minister. In Cairo, an agreement on the resumption of Iran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency was signed in the presence of IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi. Araghchi arrived in Tunis earlier today and was welcomed by Tunisian officials.
