Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei has said that the US cannot launch the war of choice, nor can it evade responsibility by turning the aggressor into the accuser.

In a post in X, he wrote: “They attacked Iran twice in less than nine months — while negotiations were underway. They massacred our children in Minab, murdered our daughters in Lamerd, assassinated our leaders, and intensified sanctions on our people.”

“They destroyed the very MoU (memorandum of understanding) they signed on 17 June, and now they demand that the world condemn Iran!” Baqaei added.

The world was paying the price of your unlawful aggression through regional instability and global economic insecurity, he contended.

“You cannot launch a war of choice, set the region ablaze, unleash global chaos, and then play the victim,” he warned, saying, “You cannot evade responsibility by turning the aggressor into the accuser and the victim into the culprit.”
