At the SCO foreign ministers' meeting in Kyrgyzstan on July 24, Iranian foreign
minister Araghchi said Iran remains committed to its principles, will not be
intimidated or yield to threats, will not tolerate what he described as false
statements, and will continue actions until its objectives are met and the
Iranian people's legitimate demands are satisfied. He added Tehran and
Washington are still exchanging messages via intermediaries and can understand
each other's positions, but said the core problem is that the US continues to
act with a bullying, coercive logic.
