Iran is not seeking to escalate regional tensions, but "restoring sustainable security in the volatile West Asia region is contingent upon restraining the warmongering and disproportionate leadership of the Israeli regime.

In a series of telephone conversations on Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian expressed condemnation of "Israel's" brutal actions to his counterparts in Germany, the UK, and Australia.

The discussions were reportedly initiated by German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, UK Foreign Minister David Cameron, and Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, and focused on various bilateral issues, but mainly addressed the recent escalation of tensions in the region.

In reference to "Israel's" recent aggression on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, Amir-Abdollahian said that "legitimate defense becomes a necessity to deter aggressors," especially when Israeli regime violates international law and the Vienna Conventions by targeting diplomatic personnel and premises, and the Security Council fails to issue a statement condemning the aggression. 

He further stressed the necessity of issuing explicit condemnations of "Israel's" actions and called on his counterparts to do so, noting that Iran is not seeking to escalate regional tensions, but "restoring sustainable security in the volatile West Asia region is contingent upon restraining the warmongering and disproportionate leadership of the Zionist regime and halting its ongoing war crimes against Gaza and the coastal areas."

The discussions also included messages of congratulations exchanged between Amir-Abdollahian and his counterparts on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, according to his post.

در پاسخ به تماس‌های تلفنی @ABaerbock وزیر امور خارجه آلمان، @David_Cameron وزیر امور خارجه انگلیس و @SenatorWong وزیر امور خارجه استرالیا ضمن تبادل‌نظر درخصوص برخی موضوعات دوجانبه، تأکید کردم که وقتی رژیم صهیونیستی با نقض حقوق بین‌الملل و کنوانسیون‌های وین، مصونیت افراد و اماکن…

A report by Axios earlier in the day revealed that US military officials are heading to "Tel Aviv" to coordinate efforts regarding a potential Iranian attack.

The officials mentioned that Gen. Erik Kurilla, commander of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), is expected to convene with Israeli Security Minister Yoav Gallant and high-ranking Israeli military officials.

Axios cited Israeli officials as saying that they are preparing for a potential unprecedented direct attack originating from Iranian territory, utilizing ballistic missiles, drones, and cruise missiles against Israeli targets.

According to the officials, "Israel" will strike back with a direct attack against Iran in such an event.

Iranian officials have openly voiced intentions to retaliate against "Israel" following the Damascus attack, which caused the martyrdom of seven IRGC advisors.

American and Israeli officials told the news website that officials from the United States and "Israel" have engaged in dialogue across various governmental levels to anticipate the Iranian retaliation.
