In an Iranian Deputy FM statement, Kazem Gharibabadi said Iran is still in contact with littoral Gulf states and that talks with the region’s foreign ministers have not stopped. He cast the message as one of continuity: diplomacy with Gulf neighbours remains open even as he described the wider security climate as difficult.
Contacts with Gulf neighbours continue
Gharibabadi said Iran’s outreach to coastal Gulf countries is active. “Our contacts with the foreign ministers of the countries of the region are ongoing,” he said. The Iranian Deputy FM Kazem Gharibabadi framed those exchanges as senior-level engagement rather than a freeze in ties.
Why Tehran says the climate is difficult
The Iran deputy foreign minister argued that conditions across the region are not favourable because of what he called aggression by the United States and by Israel, which he referred to as the “Zionist regime.” He added that, even so, the contacts are “at the highest level.” The Iranian Deputy FM statement did not name which Gulf capitals were involved in the latest exchanges or say when further meetings might take place.
What is confirmed so far
What is on the record is Tehran’s public line: channels with Gulf foreign ministers remain open at a senior level. No timetable, agenda, or list of participating states was set out in the remarks available. For now, the news is the confirmation itself—that Iran says dialogue with the Gulf’s littoral states is continuing.
Aasan alfaaz mein
Iran ke naib wazeer-e-kharija Kazem Gharibabadi ne kaha hai ke Gulf ke mulkon se baat cheet jari hai. Unhone kaha ke regional foreign ministers se rabta highest level par hai. Unke mutabiq America aur Israel ki wajah se halaat theek nahi, lekin diplomacy rukki nahi. Aam logon ke liye yeh is liye ahem hai ke Iran aur Gulf ke darmiyan sukoon se poore region ka mahaul mutasir hota hai.
