At the SCO foreign ministers meeting in Tianjin, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi told CGTN the current ceasefire between Iran-backed groups and Israel is on thin ice. While Tehran is watching developments closely, Araghchi stressed that a return to full-blown conflict is not Iran's goal.
"We are very careful and fully prepared if it is broken, but this is not our wish," he said, highlighting the fragile nature of the truce. His remarks come as regional tensions remain high and the prospect of renewed hostilities could trigger wide-reaching geopolitical and economic shocks.
In his exclusive interview, Araghchi underscored Iran's approach: maintaining vigilance without escalating. This stance reflects a broader strategy to safeguard national interests while avoiding a wider war that could destabilize the Middle East and ripple through global markets.
As young global citizens and business leaders monitor this evolving story, the key takeaway is clear: fragile peace demands active diplomacy and constant vigilance. The world now watches whether restraint holds or if unseen flashpoints ignite a new crisis.
