Denouncing the Israeli regime’s intentional prohibition of delivery of medicine and food stuff to Gaza and Lebanon as part of the Zionist regime’s policy of genocide, Araqchi urged cooperation among the Islamic nations to send humanitarian aids to Palestinian and Lebanese people.
For his part, the king of Bahrain praised Iran’s diplomatic efforts to protect regional peace and stability and prevent an escalation of tensions.
The king also reaffirmed Bahrain’s commitment to employing all capacities to prevent the spread of war and clashes in the region.

They also called for collective efforts to stop the massacre of people in Gaza and Lebanon and open the ways for the delivery of humanitarian aids to them.
The Iranian foreign minister left Bahrain for Kuwait on Monday night.
The Iranian foreign minister has stepped up diplomatic efforts in recent weeks to address the regional conflicts and put an end to the Israeli regime’s crimes in Gaza and Lebanon.
He has visited Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, Oman, Jordan, Egypt, Turkey, Bahrain and Kuwait in the past two weeks.
