Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi spoke about the unacceptability of a new war in the South Caucasus region.

According to the press service of the Iranian President, during a telephone talk with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Raisi said that "the Caucasus region is experiencing special situations, and unfortunately, peace has not returned to this region yet."

He also pointed to Israel's influence in the region, calling its presence a threat to the entire region. Stating that Iran is keeping a close eye on developments in the region, Raisi said the region cannot allow another war.

"Security in the Caucasus region is very important for the Islamic Republic of Iran," the IRI president noted, adding that the signatories of the trilateral ceasefire statement must adhere to its provisions and refrain from any actions aimed at creating tension in the region.

"The historical borders of Iran and Armenia are considered the basis for prosperity, rapprochement and security in the region, and Tehran is determined to continue cooperation in all areas for the benefit of the region's prosperity and stability," Raisi noted.
