According to Khabaronline news agency, Abbas Akhundi, the former Minister of Housing, Roads and Urban Development in response to Vance’s letter to Mohsen Rezaei He took up the pen and wrote an open letter addressed to Masoud Bizikian.
According to IRNA, the text of the letter is as follows:
Honorable brother of Dr
Dear President of the Islamic Republic of Iran
Greetings and courtesy
It is recalled that according to the official reports that the letter was sent by Mr. J.D. Vance, the vice president of the United States and the announcement of its receipt by the Iranian authorities, I suggest that the reply letter be prepared and sent after official consultation with some international and regional powers as well as the neighbors of the southern Persian Gulf. In this regard, I offer the following two specific suggestions:
1- The Islamic Republic of Iran at the ministerial level invited the governments of China and Russia as international players and Turkey, Pakistan and Egypt as regional powers and all the countries south of the Persian Gulf to examine the situation in the region, exchange opinions, listen to Iran’s concerns and listen to their approach, to attend Tehran and even if possible reach a specific conclusion to manage the risk of rekindling the fire of war. This action can be a real step to realize the theory of collective network security in the region and their committed participation.
2- The management of this action must be done by the president himself and cannot be delegated to anyone or any institution. Your Excellency, in one of the most sensitive historical circumstances of Iran, you have voluntarily assumed the responsibility of the presidency with the majority vote of the Iranian people. According to the oath that you mentioned, you are responsible for protecting the territorial integrity of the country and based on various principles of the constitution, you are responsible for exercising the executive power, including the chairmanship of the Supreme National Security Council. Undoubtedly, the great nation of Iran will continue to support and help you in this way. In the hope of God’s help.
