BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 15. Iran once again
strongly condemns the United States interference in the country’s
internal affairs, said the country’s Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas
Araghchi, during a telephone conversation with India’s External
Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar, Trend reports.
During the call, Iran's Foreign Minister highlighted that
peaceful protests within the country had been exploited by
terrorist organizations, transforming them into violent uprisings.
He emphasized that Iran possesses the capability to thwart any
subversive efforts.
On the other hand, Indian Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar
stressed the significance of bilateral relations, underscoring the
need to prevent further escalation of tensions in the region and to
work towards restoring stability. He also affirmed India’s
readiness to collaborate in this regard.
The two ministers also exchanged perspectives on matters
pertaining to their bilateral relations, as well as regional and
global issues.
The protests, which erupted in late December, were primarily
ignited by the sharp depreciation of the national currency, soaring
inflation, and other economic hardships. While reports of
casualties have surfaced, the precise figures remain
unconfirmed.
