TEHRAN: Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Monday that Iran has prepared a plan to help settle the armed conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh region.
Khatibzadeh said that there is no military solution to the decades-long dispute between Baku and Yerevan over Nagorno-Karabakh.
“We hope that both sides would refrain from continuing war and violence and to pave the way for political dialogue,” he said, urging both sides to abstain from endangering the lives of civilian people.
Meanwhile, Iran does not care who will take the office in Washington in the upcoming U.S. presidential election in November, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Monday.
What matters is “Washington should reverse its hostile policies against Tehran,” Khatibzadeh told Tasnim news agency.
“The UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (the JCPOA)”, should be honored by the United States, Khatibzadeh was quoted as saying.
Besides, Washington should admit its mistakes of policies vis-a-vis Iran, stop the “economic war and terrorism” against Iran, return to its JCPOA commitments, and make up for the damage caused by its withdrawal from the Iranian 2015 nuclear deal, he stressed.
Earlier, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif also said that “it is not important for us who will win the upcoming election in the United States, but it is important for us to see Washington rectify its approach towards Tehran.”
Moreover, Iran’s health ministry reported 3,902 new COVID-19 cases on Monday, raising the total confirmed number in the country to 475,674.
The pandemic has so far taken 27,192 lives in Iran, up by 235 in the past 24 hours, said Sima Sadat Lari, spokeswoman for the Iranian Ministry of Health and Medical Education, during her daily briefing.
A total of 392,293 people have recovered from the disease and been discharged from hospitals, while 4,167 remain in intensive care units.
