Germany asks Iran to help de-escalate region
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock called on Tehran to contribute to the alleviation of tensions in the Western Asia region, as the Gaza war has raised concerns over the expansion of the conflict.
In a telephone conversation with his Iranian counterpart, the German diplomat underscored that the Gaza crisis can be settled only through political solutions.
Iranian FM Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, for his part, emphasized that a political solution for the crisis is a move by the United Nations to conduct a referendum in Palestine among the true civilians there, including the Jews, the Muslims, and the Christians.
Amir-Abdollahian urged the global society to pay special attention to the fact that civilians, children, and women continue to be killed in Gaza and the West Bank.
