During the meeting, Safiuddin conveyed congratulations from Hezbollah's Secretary General, Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, and other Lebanese group officials to Araqchi on his recent appointment as Iran's foreign minister.

Araqchi expressed his gratitude for the congratulatory message and extended his regards to Nasrallah, the Hezbollah officials, and the resistance fighters.

Araqchi stressed Iran's steadfast policy of backing resistance movements and supporting the legitimate struggles of regional nations against the Israeli regime.

The discussions between Araqchi and Safiuddin also covered the latest regional developments, focusing on the status of the anti-Israeli resistance front in Lebanon and the broader situations in Palestine, Gaza, and the West Bank.
