Local Editor

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Araqchi has said that the Islamic Republic's principles of foreign policy are unchangeable.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran's principles and values of foreign policy are unchangeable, and what changes in practice is methods and styles, and as Mr. Rohani said, (the protection of) Iranian nation's rights is the criterion, and any government in any situation is committed to defending them," Araqchi said at a press briefing on Tuesday.

The official further stated that Iran is ready to continue talks with world powers in the framework of the 5+1 group (United States, China, Russia, Britain, France, and Germany).

Dismissing reports by some Western media outlets about Iran allegedly sending troops to aid the Syrian government, the FM spokesperson said, "The Syrian government and army do not need such assistance and the sending of troops, and they are able to deal with terrorist groups."
