Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reportedly indicated that Iran seeks to permanently end the ongoing West Asia conflict, nearly three weeks after hostilities escalated on February 28. The statement reflects a possible shift in Tehran’s tone amid mounting casualties and rising tensions in the region, though no formal de-escalation has yet taken place.

Tehran: Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi reportedly indicated a willingness to end the ongoing conflict in West Asia, nearly three weeks after hostilities escalated following attacks by Israel and the United States, resulting in the deaths of thousands, including top Iranian officials and former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Call To End War

"We seek to end the war permanently," said Araghchi, according to an update on X by Al Arabiya, a Saudi Arabian state-owned international Arabic-language television news channel. However, the statement has not been independently confirmed and Araghchi has not issued any official announcement on the matter.
