“We are taking responsibility and will help resolve the crisis,” the Iranian diplomat's words were quoted by the Telegram channel of the Iranian embassy in Russia.

“We have proposed a regional approach involving those countries that play a key role in the resolution of this crisis, with Russia being one of the most important countries in the region,” Araghchi said.

According to the official, the Iranian initiative is based on humanitarian principles and takes into account the demands of both conflicting parties. The initiative includes a ceasefire, a halt to attacks in residential areas and against civilians, as well as the resettlement of displaced persons.
