Iran's Foreign Minister: Iran "Must Continue to Fight for the People and Security"
Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif stated on the 8th that the United States and Israel are killing the Iranian people, which undermines the ceasefire agreement reached after the "12th War" in June last year, and Iran "must continue to fight for the people and security."
Zarif said that Iran has never intentionally attacked neighboring countries; Iran targets U.S. military bases, U.S. facilities, and American assets. If U.S. ground troops are sent to Iran, Iran will "fight them, eliminate and destroy them."
Zarif refuted U.S. President Trump's claim that Iran is about to possess missiles with a range covering the United States, stating that this is "false information." He said that Iran deliberately limits the missile range to within 2,000 kilometers to avoid being seen as a threat by other countries in the world.
Iran's Foreign Minister stated that Iran must continue to fight for its people and security against U.S. and Israeli actions, which he claims are harming Iranian citizens. He emphasized that Iran has never intentionally attacked neighboring countries and will respond forcefully if U.S. ground troops are deployed. The remarks were made on the 8th, highlighting Iran's military posture and missile capabilities.
