Spanish FM calls on Iranian counterpart to engage in negotiations ‘in good faith’

Spain’s foreign minister says that he has spoken with his Iranian counterpart and urged him to negotiate in good faith during talks with the United States in Islamabad.

“I encourage Iran — this is what I conveyed to the Iranian foreign minister — to take part in those negotiations and to participate in good faith,” Jose Manuel Albares tells the press, adding that he had spoken with his Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, “the day before yesterday” and had also asked him to halt “all missile and drone launches.”

Albares once again slammed Israel for continuing its attacks on Lebanon, where it has been fighting Iran-backed terror group Hezbollah.

“Lebanon is a disgrace on the conscience of humanity. The level of violence, the violation of international law and international humanitarian law by Israel is unacceptable,” Albares says.
