(Al Jazeera) – Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has discussed US and Israeli “military aggression” during a phone call with Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Vijitha Herath.
Araghchi outlined “the latest situation resulting from the military aggression of the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran”, the Foreign Ministry said.
He also thanked Sri Lanka for helping rescue crew members of the Iranian vessel Dena following a US attack on March 4, and for assisting in returning the bodies of 84 sailors killed in the torpedoing of the ship.
The US has reportedly urged Sri Lanka not to repatriate surviving Iranian sailors rescued after the strike.
