Speaking on behalf of the Foreign Ministry, spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Iran’s choice has always been diplomacy over conflict. He cautioned that the crisis, fueled by the United States and the ‘Zionist regime,’ could soon spread across Europe and eventually engulf the world if action is not taken.

Baghaei criticized European nations for sending mixed signals, warning that any breach of international law or moral principles will carry consequences for every human being on Earth. ‘If European countries truly understand this reality, they will move beyond their state of indifference,’ he added.

He also called on the United Nations Security Council to fulfill its heavy duty by condemning aggression against Iran and clearly identifying the aggressors, underscoring the global responsibility to prevent further escalation.
