In a phone conversation with Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Monday, Pezeshkian underscored the need to remove obstacles in the way of promoting relations between Iran and Europe.
He said regional and international peace, stability and security are a centerpiece to Iran’s foreign policy.
Referring to the war in Gaza, the Iranian president said the Israeli regime is violating all international treaties and regulations and pressing ahead with its genocide in the besieged Palestinian territory.
Pezeshkian said the world nations expect European countries, not least Germany, to play an effective role in ending the Israeli regime’s genocidal war in Gaza instead of supporting it.
The Israeli regime also conducted terrorist acts in other countries and poses a serious threat to regional security and global peace, he said, apparently referring to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Hamas resistance movement, in Tehran on July 31. The German chancellor, for his part, said Berlin is keen to promote relations with Iran in all fields.
Scholz said the establishment of peace and security in the region is among his country’s priorities. He placed a premium on ending Israel’s campaign of death, destruction and genocide in Gaza.
