Israel calls on countries to cut ties with Iran during envoy meeting

Foreign Minister Gideon Saar on Tuesday urged countries to cut their ties with Iran during a virtual meeting with around 60 envoys stationed in Israel, as it pressed its military campaign against the Islamic republic.

"The foreign minister told the ambassadors that following the Iranian regime's attacks on all its neighbours and the massacre of its own people, countries around the world must cut off their relations with it," a statement issued by Saar's office said, without specifying whether the 60 envoys' countries had ties with Iran in the first place.
