TEHRAN -- Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told national television that Tehran will fully back the Resistance Front in the region by providing “unlimited support”. 
“The government’s policy is to provide unlimited support to the resistance. We will support the resistance front, which has established itself as a reality in the region. The Zionist regime has so far failed to achieve its main goal of destroying Hamas,” Araghchi stated.
However, the foreign minister stressed that Tehran is interested in getting involved in a conflict. He maintained that Iran will continue its support for the Resistance Front but “remains vigilant against traps that might be set to draw us into the conflict. We are monitoring regional developments with intelligence and awareness.”
Speaking about foreign policy, Araghchi highlighted relations with neighbors, in the absence of a real chance to resolve issues with West at this juncture. 
“We seek comprehensive and balanced diplomacy and aim to expand our communications. My colleagues are currently planning. When a head of state makes their first visit to a country, it signifies importance to us. The message of the President’s visit to Iraq was that our priority is first and foremost our neighbors.”
The foreign minister indicated that there are currently no discussions with the United States, noting that the Americans are in the midst of an election season. However, he announced that Iran is ready to engage in discussions with Europe “on the basis of equality.”
“Europeans need to understand Iran’s concerns. If they have concerns, so do we. We have issues with Europe regarding sanctions and economic matters. Using failed tools is not the solution. Various sanctions were imposed on the nuclear program before, but they had to come to the negotiating table. It is clear that sanctions have failed,” Araghchi said.
“They are concerned about Iran exporting advanced weapons to Ukraine. If Europe is genuinely concerned, the solution is dignified dialogue. It is not reasonable to expect that their concerns will be addressed unilaterally. We are ready to engage in dialogue with Europe. Currently, establishing relations with Europe is not a priority for us,” he added.
