Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is addressing the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) foreign ministers' meeting in Kyrgyzstan today (Friday, July 24), according to reports. The session is expected to discuss roughly 25 draft resolutions, and a final statement is anticipated to condemn what the organization calls 'American aggression' against Iran.
On Thursday evening (July 23, 22:25 Jerusalem), The Zioneer reported that Araghchi had landed in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan, leading a political delegation for the SCO Council of Foreign Ministers. In subsequent updates, it was confirmed that he would meet his Russian and Chinese counterparts on the sidelines of the gathering, based on reporting by N12 journalist Yaron Schneider.
The diplomatic push comes amid a broader Iranian effort to rally support following US strikes. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Araghchi has held consultations with regional and international counterparts in recent weeks, including phone calls with Qatari, French, Turkish, and Saudi officials, and has planned visits to Lebanon and meetings with the Taliban foreign minister.
The specific content of Araghchi's address and the exact wording of the final statement remain unconfirmed as the meeting continues.
