Foreign Minister to reporters:

We are engaged in a proud resistance and we will continue this resistance without any hesitation.

As we have said many times and I repeated it again last night in an interview with the American Network, we did not send any message and we are not asking for a ceasefire, but this war must end so that it will not be repeated again

The Americans understood what nation they are on the side of.

The Iranian nation is ready to take the war wherever it is.

The fact that we say we do not want a ceasefire is not because we are looking for war, but because this time this war must end in a way that our enemies will never think of repeating these attacks and this aggression again.

I think they have learned a good lesson by now and realized what kind of nation they are dealing with that has no hesitation in defending itself and is ready to continue the war wherever it is and wherever it is.

Baghaei: We did not trust America in any way/The negotiations were conducted in an atmosphere of absolute distrust on our part

The Foreign Ministry Spokesperson at the press conference:

We did not trust America in any way; we have said many times that the negotiations were conducted in an atmosphere of absolute distrust on our part; it was not that we did not take into account past precedents.

I have emphasized many times that we entered the negotiation process with our eyes open, taking into account America’s past negotiations and the heinous crime they committed against diplomacy in June. At the same time, we had to thwart their plan and conspiracy to present Iran as a party that is not diplomatic and not ready to negotiate.

We had no choice but to prove to our own people, the people of the region, and the people of the world that Iran is not to blame for this situation; therefore, what happened is absolutely and 100 percent the fault of the American side.

The German Chancellor's request to Iran to end the war is ridiculous/Did we start the war that we should end?

Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a press conference:

It is ridiculous for you to ask a country that has been militarily attacked and is defending itself to end the war.

Did we start the war that we should end it? Others started the war and imposed the war on us, and reason, logic, and responsibility require that we blame the parties that are the cause and sponsor of this situation.

Iran is determined to defend its dignity, honor, territorial integrity, and national sovereignty with all its might.
