Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrives in Jordan ahead of travel to Egypt and Turkey, his office says on X.
Iran’s top diplomat also spoke on the phone yesterday with his French counterpart Jean-Noel Barrot, his office adds.
In the call, Araghchi stressed the need to stop Israeli attacks on Lebanon, warned against any “new adventures” by its arch-foe in the region, Israel, and called for the removal of Israeli “obstacles” impeding the delivery of aid to displaced people.
Over the past week, Araghchi has visited Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq and Oman.
