Iran FM Spokesperson Champions 'Resistance' as a Fundamental Human Right in Gaza Day Message

Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Stands Firm on Principled Stance Amid Global Challenges

The Islamic Republic of Iran has long been a vocal supporter of resistance movements while simultaneously addressing illegal activities and terrorism in the region. Recently, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esma’eel Baqayi emphasized Iran’s commitment to its principles in a series of statements shared on his X account.

Baqayi highlighted several key points regarding regional dynamics:

  • Recognition of External Influence: He stated that ignoring the “open and hidden hands” of the US and Israel in regional affairs is a significant oversight.
  • Call for Regional Equality: Quoting the Turkish Foreign Minister, Baqayi remarked that no nation—be it Arabs, Turks, Kurds, or Iranians—should seek to dominate or threaten others, raising a pertinent question about Israel’s role.
  • Israeli Aggression: Following the fall of Damascus to Turkey-backed forces, Israel launched extensive attacks on Syrian military installations, research centers, and infrastructure, destroying over 90% of these facilities.
  • Occupation of Golan Heights: Baqayi noted that Israel has reoccupied the Golan Heights and expanded its territorial control, undermining Syria’s sovereignty.
  • Impact on Regional Stability: The spokesperson commented on how Israel’s actions have resulted in significant challenges for the people of Syria, Palestine, and the broader region.

Baqayi asserted that Iran has maintained a non-imperialist stance over the last fifty years, focusing primarily on supporting the Palestinian cause and resisting Israeli occupation. He declared, “Today, the issue of Palestine is more alive than ever, and Israel is more hated than ever.” He attributed rising tensions to betrayals that have led to discussions about the forced migration of Palestinians from Gaza.

Furthermore, Baqayi reiterated Iran’s historical role in combating terrorism, stating, “We were the first country to raise the flag of fighting ISIS and violent extremism,” led by the late national hero, martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani. He also noted Iran’s proactive stance in supporting Turkey against coups and welcoming the PKK’s disarmament as a move towards enhancing security in the region.

In conclusion, Baqayi emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran remains steadfast in its principled positions, asserting that it does not shift its policies based on convenience. This commitment to resistance and accountability in the face of terrorism continues to shape Iran’s foreign policy as it navigates complex regional challenges.
