Iranian Ambassador to China: Will Promote the Easing of Current Tensions and Political Resolution through a "Three-Step" Approach

Iran’s ambassador to China, Fazli, held a press conference in Beijing on the 9th to discuss the current crisis and the direction of diplomatic policies. Ambassador Fazli stated that under the leadership of the new Supreme Leader, Iran advocates following the “three-step” plan proposed by senior Iranian officials during calls to promote de-escalation and political resolution of the current situation. The first step is to end the war and achieve a ceasefire; the war should be stopped first by the initiators, and actions are necessary to force the United States and Israel to immediately cease all military attacks. The second step is to return to the negotiating table, but since we no longer trust the U.S., this step is difficult to achieve and nearly impossible unless major world powers and the United Nations Security Council can intervene, play an active role, provide binding and inviolable guarantees, ensure no acts of aggression occur during dialogue, and establish a lasting, reliable mechanism to uphold the results of negotiations. The third step is for all countries to unite and cooperate to resist unilateralism and promote the development of multilateralism. “Based on the full respect and implementation of the above principles, we are willing to resume relevant dialogues.” (Huanqiu.com)
