The war is not a tool for Israel, but a goal. The Zionist regime is the enemy of diplomacy and destabilizing the main factor in the region. The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Armenia Mehdi Sobhan stated this at a press conference today, June 17, presenting the situation in Iran on June 13 in Iran.
"2025 Early in the morning of June 13, the Islamic Republic of Iran was attacked by the illegal armed attack on the Zionist regime. During this aggression, the Zionist regime attacked residential buildings, defensive infrastructure and nuclear facility, causing damage. A number of high-ranking commanders, scientists, lecturers and ordinary citizens, women and children were martyred. The next regime expanded its aggression, attacking a number of economic and public infrastructure, such as oil refinery and distribution centers, hospitals, and yesterday attacked the state TV, "the ambassador reported.
The diplomat stressed that in this situation, Iran has exercised its legal rights to itself, taking a number of measures, including missile strokes and economic facilities, in response to the "Zionist regime" attack on Iran's infrastructure.
According to the Ambassador, Israel's aggression is a continuation of the violation of the laws taken by the Zionist regime in the last 80 years, and the "Zionist regime" was the largest violator of international law, including humanitarian law and human rights.
"The illegal armed attack on Iran's anti-Iranian system is attacked on the whole UN system and a serious threat to international peace and security, and the UN Security Council must intervene to stop aggression in this issue," he said.
According to Mehdi Sobhan, Iran has never started any war, and in recent decades, there has always been a victim of aggression. And Israel, as mentioned by the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is expanding its circle of aggression in the region.
"The existence of this regime is intertwined with the escalation of war, aggression, neighbors, escalation, crisis and instability, and he sees his existence in war. The war is not a tool for this mode, but a goal. This regime is the enemy of diplomacy and the main factor in destabilization in the Middle East, "Mehdi Sobhan added.
The Ambassador also noted that based on well-founded facts, Iran considers the allegations of this aggression a categorical of Washington, Dialogue and Diplomacy based on all kinds of sponsorships and all kinds of "Zionist regime".
"We didn't want this war and were engaged in diplomacy on our nuclear program, but this aggression was imposed on us. We now consider the US government responsible for the full support of Israel in crimes against Iran. In our opinion, the United States is a participant in these attacks and must accept its responsibility and stop hypocrisy and misleading the international community. The agreement with force is not an agreement, it has been handed over. We will not be handed over, "the Iranian Ambassador emphasized.
According to Mehdi Sobhan, the truth cannot be silenced by bombing. The ambassador also added that Iran does not seek to escalate the war, but it is ready for any scenario.
"We do not want this war to spread in other countries or region if it is not forced to us. The Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain its "red lines" in the region and will not deviate from them. Trying to try the tried is wrong, "said Sobhan.
According to the Ambassador, 224 Iranians were killed and 1,200 were injured in Israel's aggression. 90% of them are ordinary citizens, civilians.
At the end of his speech, the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran thanked the Government of the Republic of Armenia for condemning the decisive position of Israel's aggression and support and support of Armenia's honest people.
"We feel the spiritual support of the Armenian people. Long live Armenia, live Iran, "said Ambassador Mehdi Sobhan.
