Iran's Foreign Minister Encourages Diplomacy

Iran's foreign minister has stated that their country will reevaluate its approach to diplomacy once aggression ceases. This comes after a recent round of missile tests angered the international community and prompted criticism from the US, UK, and France.

The official emphasized that Iran's regional policy is focused on painless solutions, and that the country's involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict is solely based on humanitarian grounds and a desire to establish peace. Iran has been subjected to unprecedented economic sanctions and cruel bullying, according to the foreign minister, who also stated that the country is committed to establishing security and stability in the Middle East and the world.

Aggression Comments

The foreign minister claimed that Iran is subjected to daily aggression, including terrorist acts, sabotage operations, and cyberattacks. He emphasized that Iran will not negotiate with the US or any other party on its missile program, which is solely for defense purposes. The minister also denounced what he called the US' mistaken policy of hostility toward Iran.

Stated Goals

He stated that Iran seeks to establish peaceful coexistence with its neighbors and that its nuclear program is solely for peaceful purposes. The foreign minister also called on the international community to stop the US' unilateral sanctions, which he referred to as "economic terrorism." He proclaimed that Iran will always stand with justice and that the world cannot afford to remain silent in the face of US aggression.
