There was no imminent threat from Iran to the United States that warrants sending our sons and daughters into yet another war in the Middle East.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

Regime change is an impossible mission. The absance or death of a leader does not mean the system collapses.

State institutions remain intact.

A new Supreme Leader could be elected within a day or two.

Our military units are currently operating independently and in isolation, following previously issued general directives.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

We are not attacking our brothers in the Persian Gulf; we are not attacking our neighbors.

We are attacking American targets; this is obvious.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

Of course, we cannot hit any target in the territory of the United States.

So we have to deal with their bases in the region.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

We started by attacking their military bases. They have evacuated the military bases and have gone to hotels, and they have made human shields for themselves.

We are trying to target only military personnel and the facilities helping the United States military in their operation against Iran.

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi:

Some of our neighbors are angry... I wish they understood that what is going on in the region is not our fault.

This is not our choice; this is a war imposed on us by the United States and Israel.

If they are angry, they should be angry at the United States and Israel.

They shouldn’t pressure us to stop this war; they should pressure the other side.
