Tehran, August 25: Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Ismail Baghaei, stated on Monday that the country will not permit the war to conclude based on the conditions set by aggressive parties.
During a weekly press conference in Tehran, Baghaei emphasized, “We are certainly not the party that initiated the war, but we will not allow it to end on the aggressors’ terms.”
He asserted that Iran is resolute in defending its territory and will not compromise with aggressors or yield to their excessive demands. The Iranian Foreign Minister dismissed U.S. claims that the Strait of Hormuz is open and that millions of barrels of oil pass through daily, labeling it as part of a psychological and media war.
According to Xinhua, Baghaei also criticized Washington’s newly announced anti-Iran economic operations, stating that Tehran will utilize all multilateral capabilities to counter U.S. sanctions, which he described as an attack on free trade and national sovereignty.
The spokesperson warned that countries aiding U.S. anti-Iran campaigns may face consequences. He characterized the U.S. naval blockade as an aggressive action.
Western media reports suggest that if hostilities resume, Iran may target U.S. bases in Europe. In response, Baghaei stated that if any nation allows its territory, military bases, or resources to be used for aggressive actions against Iran, the country reserves the right to retaliate against the source of that attack.
