Referring to the long-standing relations between the two countries, Ghashghavi emphasized on strengthening bilateral relations between Tehran and Madrid.

He went on to say that global support for the implementation of Resolution 2231 and opposition to the US position in the UN Security Council led to the termination of Iran’s arms embargo and indicated that US unilateralism will not work.
