Iran will not tolerate the ongoing cycle of conflict and will continue to resist strikes from the United States and Israel, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated. According to Operative Information Center-OMM, the spokesperson described the current regional instability as catastrophic not only for Iran but for the entire region and beyond.
"We will not endure this vicious cycle of war, negotiations, ceasefire, and then the same sequence repeating itself," Baghaei noted during a press briefing. He emphasized that as long as military actions by the U.S. and Israel persist, Tehran remains committed to its path of resistance. Furthermore, the MFA representative clarified Iran's regional policy, confirming that the Islamic Republic does not view its neighbors in the Persian Gulf region as enemies.
The statements come amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, where Iran has frequently criticized the military presence and interventions of Western powers. This diplomatic stance follows recent escalations involving regional proxies and direct military exchanges. Historically, Iran has sought to balance its 'Axis of Resistance' strategy with diplomatic outreach to Arab neighbors in an effort to mitigate regional isolation and foster a security architecture independent of non-regional actors.
