Masoud Pezeshkian: We can take relations with Azerbaijan to a new level
Conditions have now been created to take Iran's relations with Azerbaijan to a new level.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said this in an interview with IRIB.
"At present, all the conditions have been created to take our relations to a new level and to sign important agreements with Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Egypt, and Turkmenistan," he said.
According to Pezeshkian, the language of force does not produce any results, since the other side responds in kind: "We give priority to the policy of dialogue and good neighborliness in the region."
He also touched on the tensions surrounding the Strait of Hormuz in relations with the United States:
"If the United States fulfills the commitments it has undertaken under the Islamabad Memorandum, we are ready to open the Strait of Hormuz to shipping. However, for this, Washington must end the naval blockade, lift the sanctions, and unfreeze the frozen funds belonging to Iran.
At the same time, to ensure regional stability, Israel's attacks on Lebanon must stop. In accordance with the agreements reached with Oman, the resumption of shipping is possible only within the framework of the regulatory mechanism we have established."
