Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakçi stated in response to the leader’s strategic message that foreign policy will be shaped around the goal of protecting the nation’s honor, independence, and the rights of the people.
Arakçi expressed gratitude for the trust, support, and mercy, referring to the leader as "wise and pioneering" in his message. He said this guidance will provide a solid foundation to uphold Iran’s dignity and responsibly advance the goals of the revolution.
In his remarks on the occasion of the month of Muharram, the minister said that relying on God and the Imams, and with full commitment to the leader’s directives, the entire capacity of the foreign policy institution will be devoted to securing Iran’s interests.
Arakçi emphasized that this is not merely rhetoric in foreign relations but an attitude aimed at protecting the country’s rights and national dignity. He stated that defending the rights of the Iranian people and preserving the country’s authority are central to this approach.
“We will spare no effort to achieve these goals and protect national interests with care, prudence, and perseverance,” Arakçi said, noting that the foreign policy apparatus will act accordingly in the coming period.
