Iran supports territorial integrity of Ukraine
The Iranian
government does not recognize the annexation of Ukrainian territories by Russia
and advocates for respect for the territorial integrity of all countries,
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said at a press conference in
Tehran on July 18, as reported by Moscow Times.
"We believe in the territorial integrity of every country, including Ukraine, which should be the top priority for all countries, based on international law," he said, adding that Tehran insists on the need to end the war "through political dialogue."
Tehran also considers Moscow's recent interference in Iran's territorial integrity issues unacceptable, the minister emphasized, referring to a diplomatic scandal that erupted at the Arab Cooperation Council of the Persian Gulf. Russian diplomats called for negotiations on the status of three islands near the Strait of Hormuz that Iran considers its own, contested by the United Arab Emirates.
In response, the Iranian Foreign Ministry summoned Russian Ambassador Alexey Dedov, expressing protest. The Iranian side received an "explanation" from the Russian side, but Tehran does not consider it sufficient, Abdollahian said at the press conference.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
