Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that diplomacy has a duty to consolidate the achievements of the armed forces, and that there was direct communication between the Foreign Ministry and the military during the 40-day war, according to a channel tracking Iranian news.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made a statement positioning his ministry's work as complementary to Iran's military posture, saying diplomacy must 'consolidate the achievements of the armed forces.' He noted that the Foreign Ministry maintained direct communication with the military throughout what he called the '40-day war' — a reference to the period of intense hostilities that began in early May. The remark continues a pattern of Iranian officials framing diplomacy and military action as parallel, mutually reinforcing tracks. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Araghchi has repeatedly asserted Iran's right to respond to attacks, while also engaging in diplomatic outreach to regional counterparts including Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
