Tehran: Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has pursued an active and dynamic diplomatic approach over the past year despite extremely challenging conditions caused by war and regional tensions. Araghchi's approach has been consistent with President Masoud Pezeshkian administration's broader policy of national consensus. According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Araghchi has demonstrated through regional visits to Pakistan, Oman, Russia, Turkey, India, Qatar, Iraq, Azerbaijan, and Armenia, under the motto "neighbors are a priority," that managing foreign policy under war and sanctions requires both strategic rationality and open doors to diplomacy. His emphasis on prioritizing neighbors and his explicit opposition to negotiations conducted under pressure and threats reflect an approach that combines principles with pragmatism. IRNA is assessing Araghchi's performance as one of the notable achievements of the 14th administration on the occasion of Government Week that started on August 24. Abbas Araghchi assumed management of the Foreign Ministry at a time when the region was experiencing significant conflict, including Israeli attacks against Lebanon and Gaza, followed by aggression against Iran with US approval. Over the past year, Iran witnessed two unlawful Israeli attacks and aggression by the US military during the imposed 12-day and 40-day wars amid nuclear negotiations, as well as the return of UN Security Council sanctions under the so-called snapback mechanism. Drawing on the principle of resistance and the need to reject the use of force against the Iranian people, Araghchi has clearly defined the red lines of Iran's foreign policy. From condemning attacks on nuclear facilities as a violation of a red line and warning of the consequences of any reckless action, to declaring Iran's full readiness to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity, Araghchi has demonstrated an assertive diplomatic approach while keeping the door open to dialogue. In his latest position, referring to the fact tha t security in the Strait of Hormuz is impossible without ending US aggression, he indicated that the foreign policy of President Masoud Pezeshkian's administration seeks to combine strength and resistance with rationality. Over the past year, Araghchi has demonstrated an active regional diplomacy by placing neighboring countries at the center of Iran's foreign policy priorities. His diplomatic visits to Pakistan, Oman, Turkey, Qatar, Iraq, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Russia, aimed at close coordination with partners and consultations on regional developments, reflect an approach based on regional consensus. During these visits, while expressing appreciation for Pakistan's mediation efforts in restoring peace, Araghchi has simultaneously stressed that it remains to be seen how serious the United States is about diplomacy. With a record of active diplomacy alongside Iran's Armed Forces on the battleground to safeguard national interests and the Iranian people, Araghchi has emerged as a symbol of crisis management within the government of national consensus.
