The full text of the intended speech originally scheduled to be delivered at the Carnegie International Nuclear Policy Conference by Iran's Foreign Minister, H.E. Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, is as follows:

The Persian Gulf—for generations and centuries—has been the font of kindness and hospitality, warmly embracing Iran’s neighboring nations. A birthplace of ancient culture and civilization, the Persian Gulf will continue to stand as a symbol of peace and friendship. Wishing all a

All must stand against the distortion of truth. Understanding history and geography is a prerequisite for sound governance; realities do not change by decisions made in the Oval Office. Quoth the atlas “Persian—Forevermore.”

The modus operandi of the terrorist cult known as the MKO demonstrates that it—in a desperate pursuit of recognition—furnishes fabricated reports, disguised as so-called intelligence findings, to Western intelligence services, including those of the United States. However, once

Like clockwork, more Very Scary Satellite Images are being circulated as Iran-U.S. indirect nuclear talks are set to resume. With his credibility in tatters and exposed as a saboteur, Netanyahu—under his "Determining What @realdonaldtrump Can & Cannot Do"-policy—is turning to

At today’s UNSC meeting on Yemen, the U.S. once again launched a cynical and baseless accusation against Iran, desperately trying to deflect from its own brutal attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure in Yemen. The U.S. must be held fully accountable for such severe

On this day, we honor the memory of President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, and their accompanying entourage—devoted servants of the Iranian nation whose precious lives were cut short in service to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Their legacy lives on.

In a letter to the UN SG & UNSC, Iran’s Foreign Minister warned of catastrophic consequences after alarming reports emerged quoting U.S. sources that the Zionist regime of Israel is preparing to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities and sites. He urged an urgent, decisive response & a

Threats of “overwhelming force” won’t change facts: Iran is not seeking a nuclear weapon, and U.S. militarism only fuels instability. CENTCOM’s legacy of fueling regional instability, through arming aggressors and enabling Israeli crimes, strips it of any credibility to speak on

The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations has submitted an urgent letter to the Security Council—signed by our Foreign Minister—vehemently condemning the Israeli regime’s unlawful and reckless attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, as well as the

No Iranian official has ever asked to grovel at the gates of the White House. The only thing more despicable than his lies is his cowardly threat to “take out” Iran’s Supreme Leader. Iran does NOT negotiate under duress, shall NOT accept peace under duress, and certainly NOT

Iran categorically rejects the Zionists’ false claim of targeting a hospital. Our self-defense measures are precise and fully consistent with international law, targeting only facilities directly involved in and supporting the regime’s unlawful aggression. Contrary to the Israeli

At today’s UNSC meeting, Iran calls on the Council to: • Determine Israel’s attacks as a breach of peace & acts of aggression; • Act under Chapter VII to stop & prevent further aggression; • Condemn unequivocally the violation of Iran’s sovereignty & targeting of safeguarded

The Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations has submitted an urgent letter to the Security Council at midnight local time, vehemently condemning the United States’ unlawful and reckless bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities. The United States and

Netanyahu, an internationally wanted war criminal, has hijacked U.S. foreign policy, dragging the United States into yet another costly war. America has, once more, recklessly chosen to sacrifice its own security merely to safeguard Netanyahu. The Israeli regime and the United

The logic of threats, intimidation, and the use of military force to compel Iran to abandon its peaceful nuclear program has become even more futile in the wake of the recent defeat suffered by the warmongers. The logic of war has failed—return to the logic of diplomacy.

The U.S. and the Zionist regime of Israel have openly threatened to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader. This criminal act constitutes a manifest instance of State terrorism; and, the very gravity of such a threat must not be permitted to be diminished or normalized in any manner

Today, in a letter to the UNSC, Iran categorically rejected the United States’ baseless Yemen-related allegations. The U.S. abuses the Council to deflect from its own destabilizing actions and unconditional backing of Israeli aggression. Peace and stability in the region require

The UNSC members stand at a decisive moment: either back the Russia-China draft resolution for technical extension and diplomacy, or trigger snapback with grave consequences. The E3’s reaction to the draft will ultimately show whether they are truly committed to diplomacy or

The recent report of the Human Rights Council’s mandated Commission of Inquiry lays bare the very essence of the illegitimate Israeli regime: GENOCIDAL in character and conduct. It unequivocally calls upon the ICC and ICJ to take urgent measures to bring the criminal architects
