Iran Vows Maximum Resistance to External Pressure, Declares Foreign Ministry Spokesperson

In a recent statement, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, emphasized the nation’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding its national interests and security. He highlighted that Iran will respond to any threats with resilience and caution, underscoring the importance of diplomatic dialogue over hasty reactions.

Responding to the assertions made by US President Donald Trump regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions, Baghaei refuted the claims, stating they are unfounded and have been consistently proven incorrect. He urged that these matters are easily verifiable for those genuinely seeking the truth.

Key points from Baghaei’s remarks include:

  • Iran is a signatory of the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons treaty.
  • The country’s nuclear program is fully monitored by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
  • Iran’s commitment to opposing weapons of mass destruction is rooted in Islamic teachings and ethical considerations.
  • Baghaei referenced a fatwa issued by Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei against such weapons.

Additionally, Baghaei addressed accusations regarding Iran’s alleged plans to assassinate US officials. He stated that Iran reserves the right to seek justice for the assassination of key figures, notably referencing the killing of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani on January 3, 2020, which was executed under the orders of President Trump.

Trump has recently reinstated a policy of “maximum pressure” on Iran, a strategy he initiated during his first term. During a press briefing in the Oval Office, Trump expressed his reservations about signing the memorandum but indicated that it was necessary to project strength towards Iran. He mentioned, “So, this is one that I’m torn about… I’ll do that. It’s very tough on Iran,” while also suggesting that the United States remains open to negotiating a deal with Iran.

In conclusion, as tensions continue to simmer between the two nations, Iran’s stance remains firm in its pursuit of national sovereignty and justice in the face of external pressures.
