"The establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is in line with the principles of the UN Charter. The Charter itself foresees the creation of regional arrangements to help promote peace, security, and economic prosperity among countries. Organizations like the SCO and similar ones such as BRICS play an important role in defending multilateralism, the rule of law, respect for the right of peoples to self-determination, and in strengthening South-South relations."

5. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Esmail Baghaei, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman:
"Today, international public opinion and the conscience of humanity are deeply troubled, and people are making use of the tools at their disposal to break the siege of Gaza. I believe the fact that at least 40 countries are involved in this initiative shows that the issue of occupied Palestine and the genocide in Gaza has become a global concern, a universal demand at the international level. This also increases the responsibility of the media to raise awareness and to help mobilize global action to stop the genocide in Gaza."

7. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Esmail Baghaei, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman:
"The idea promoted by the Zionist regime about so-called “Greater Israel” has met with reactions from all countries in the region. It is clear that such claims are part of the regime’s expansionist and warmongering policies. Regional countries, whether through their own individual statements or in joint declarations such as the recent statement of the Gulf Cooperation Council, have all condemned the continuation of the genocide and rejected such claims. Still, these reactions are not enough. These statements from the Zionist regime should serve as a warning bell for every country in the region and for the entire international community. Serious action is needed to prevent threats against international peace and security posed by the Zionist regime."

9. SOUNDBITE (Farsi) Esmail Baghaei, Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman:
"As for the European countries, to put it briefly: they need to take an honest and responsible approach. Given their record in past negotiations and what they themselves accepted as obligations under Resolution 2231, they should review their positions and work toward an independent approach, free from the influence of the two destructive players, namely the Zionist regime and the United States.
