Araghchi: Tehran Welcomes Any Initiative That Would Fully End the War

Mar 15 2026

Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of Iran, stated that Tehran welcomes any initiative that could lead to a complete end to the ongoing war, noting that diplomatic contacts with regional countries are continuing.

According to remarks reported by media outlets, Araghchi said Iran remains engaged in diplomatic communications with Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and other neighboring states in an effort to address the escalating conflict.

The Iranian foreign minister also said that Tehran is ready to form a joint investigation committee with regional countries regarding the targets that were attacked, suggesting that Israel may have been behind attacks on civilian targets in Arab countries.

Araghchi stressed that Iran only targeted U.S. military sites and did not carry out attacks against civilian facilities or residential areas in Arab states.

He further claimed that a drone known as “Lukas,” allegedly manufactured in the United States, and similar to Iran’s Shahed drone, could be responsible for strikes against regional targets.

According to Araghchi, the United States has developed drones of the “Lukas” model, which he said closely resemble Iranian Shahed drones and could be used to conduct strikes inside Arab countries.
