We discussed a wide range of issues, mainly security issues, current events in our region, and the occupation. From U.S. Congressmen, we received the information about ongoing events in Iran and their assessment of the current situation,” said Chair of the Georgian parliamentary delegation, Nikoloz Samkharadze.According to Samkharadze, the Congressmen were interested in Georgia’s role in the Middle Corridor project.“We engaged in a very interesting dialogue. We asked the congressmen to carefully study the legislative initiatives presented by some congressmen, which are clearly anti-Georgian in nature, not to harm the positive dynamics that have recently emerged in our relations,” he said.The delegation members met Congressmen Randy Fine, Mike Turner, Ryan Zinke and Anna Paulina Luna within the framework of their visit to the U.S.

Your Excellency, as a representative of the Georgian people and the state of Georgia, I would like to express my gratitude for visiting the embassy today and writing in the condolence book. A friend in need is a friend indeed. We extend our condolences to the people of Iran and the Islamic Republic of Iran, where the ongoing military actions have claimed the lives of many individuals, including the Supreme Spiritual Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, other political leaders, numerous innocent civilians, and dozens of children. We hope that peace will soon be restored and that military actions will give way to diplomacy and political dialogue.” This was written by the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Georgia, Seyed Ali Mojani, on the social network Facebook.
