Bagheri Kani made the remarks during a meeting with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi in Beijing on Monday.

“Tehran’s position on defending its national security, sovereignty, and territorial integrity remains unchanged, and Iran will make no compromises on these matters,” he said.

Bagheri Kani also denounced as an “unforgettable” war crime the illegal US-Israeli aggression against Iran and the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with his family members, stressing that such atrocities must not be allowed to continue.

Highlighting the consequences of the United States’ warmongering and hegemonic ambitions, he said that war against an entire civilization cannot lead to victory and that such an approach would disrupt the global economy.

The official also said he had discussed with the top Chinese diplomat Tehran's diplomatic initiatives to end the war, and ways to strengthen lasting security in the region.
