India can play 'greater role' for peace in West Asia, says Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi
New Delhi (PTI): India can play a "greater role" for peace in West Asia, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi Thursday said.
Addressing a press conference here, he said there is no military solution to anything related to Iran.
He also said Iran is ready to help pass all vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, adding the situation in Strait of Hormuz is very complicated now.
Araghchi, who is in New Delhi to attend a BRICS conclave, said there can't be any solution other than a negotiated settlement on the West Asia crisis.
"We will welcome any constructive role by India," he said.
On negotiations with the US, he said these are "suffering from trust".
"Iran has every reason not to trust US while Americans have every reason to trust us," he said.
According to Araghchi, mediation by Pakistan has not failed yet.
He also asserted Iran has never wanted nuclear weapons.
