Iran reiterates its opposition to continuation of war in Ukraine

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian reiterates Iran's opposition to the continuation of the war in Ukraine, repeating the Islamic Republic's readiness to help resolve the conflict.

According to Press TV, the top diplomat made the remarks during a telephone conversation with his Swiss counterpart Ignazio Cassis early Thursday.

"Based on this (Iran's opposition to the continuation of the war), we are ready to offer whatever instance of assistance to help expedite the resolution of the crisis," Amir-Abdollahian said.

Cassis, for his part, welcomed the Islamic Republic's position of preparedness for contribution to the realization of peace in Ukraine.

Still touching on the issue of the conflict during a separate phone call with Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg, Amir-Abdollahian again expressed hope for the acceleration of the process of cessation of the warfare.

The FM reiterated the Leader's remarks concerning the Western accusations targeting Iran, saying, in line with Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei's assertions, the Islamic Republic emphatically rejects any involvement in the war.

Iran has repeatedly asked Ukrainian authorities to provide whatever instance of strong evidence they might have that could prove their claims about the participation of Iranian drones in the war, Amir-Abdollahian concluded.
