Foreign Ministry Responds to U.S. Claim of Deploying Heavy Troops to Iran: Hopes All Parties Cherish Peace

The Foreign Ministry, often called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is the central government department responsible for a nation’s diplomatic relations and foreign policy. Historically, such ministries emerged in Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries, with the modern model formalizing as states established permanent diplomatic corps and professionalized international relations. Its core functions include managing embassies, conducting negotiations, and representing the country’s interests abroad.

A regular press conference is not a specific place or cultural site, but a recurring media event. It is typically an organized briefing where officials, spokespeople, or organizations address journalists and the public to disseminate information, make announcements, and answer questions. This practice has a long history in democratic governance and public relations, evolving as a key channel for transparency and direct communication between institutions and the press corps.
