Seyed Abbas Aragchi, who will be attending the annual UN General Assembly in New York, held a meeting with Australia’s Foreign Minister Penelope in Yen Wong on Tuesday afternoon. The meeting was requested by the Australian side.
Araghchi highlighted longstanding diplomatic relations between Iran and Australia based on mutual interest, and expressed regret over Australia’s recent decision to downgrade relations and the inappropriate treatment of Iranian ambassadors.
He emphasizes that the Islamic Republic of Iran will not accept unfounded claims or accusations against itself or its institutions, and expects that all governments will act responsibly in decisions and statements regarding other countries.
The Iranian minister further pointed out that Israel’s history of sabotage and misinformation was intended to distract the public from Gaza’s genocide.
He emphasized that Australian officials have so far repeatedly filed charges against Iran without providing slight evidence or documentation.
