The Iranian armed forces will continue to implement necessary measures to ensure national security for as long as required.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, this statement was made by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei.
Baghaei emphasized that if Israel or the United States violates the agreements leading to a ceasefire in Lebanon, the continuation of diplomatic processes will become untenable. He underscored that Tehran views the stability of regional ceasefires as contingent upon strict adherence by all involved parties.
Furthermore, Esmaeil Baghaei criticized the stance of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi regarding Iran's nuclear program. He characterized Grossi's approach as "political and irresponsible." The ministry spokesperson asserted that the primary responsibility for the current situation surrounding Iran's nuclear program lies with the United States and Israel, citing their policies as the root cause of the ongoing tensions.
The IAEA, headquartered in Vienna, serves as the global focal point for nuclear cooperation. Tensions between the agency and Tehran have historically fluctuated, often centering on the scope of inspections and the enrichment levels of uranium within the Islamic Republic. These diplomatic frictions occur against a backdrop of broader regional instability, where Iran's nuclear ambitions remain a significant point of contention in international relations.
