Senior Iranian MP Ebrahim Azizi:

Attacking Iran has never been and will never be without cost; America and the Zionist regime know this full well.

Ukraine too will soon realize that the Islamic Republic of Iran does not leave debts unpaid. The list of defeated forces is getting longer!

A major fire is still burning at Saudi Aramco's Jizan refinery more than 48 hours after Houthi ballistic missile and drone strikes overnight on 25 July.

Satellite imagery and NASA thermal data confirm damage to storage tanks and pipelines at the eastern half of the $21 billion, 400,000-bpd complex, with thick smoke consistent with a crude oil tank fire rather than routine flaring.

Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei:

We have never allowed, and will not allow, the United States to determine the timing of the war.

We will defend ourselves whenever our interests require it, and we will certainly use diplomatic tools whenever we feel it is appropriate.

Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei:

I don't know how you think they are managing the war. A war that was supposed to lead to Iran's collapse within three days, forcing Iran to surrender, and yet now after five months, they are stuck in a quagmire of their own making.

This is not war management.

Committing war crimes every once in a while and taking pride in them is merely flailing in a disgrace created by their own hands and tempted by the Zionist regime; naturally, they must pay the price for it.

Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei:

The behavior of the Ukrainian President is reminiscent of the behavior of anarchists who, on the eve of World War I, carried out theatrical and very dangerous actions whose consequences affected all of Europe.

The Ukrainian regime downgraded its country to a tool for geopolitical disputes between powers starting four years ago.

During this period, it has accused various countries. Instead of focusing on solving the problem and saving its country and the region from the war it has imposed on Eastern Europe—and in a way, on the whole world—it has constantly blamed others.

Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei on the Saudi nuclear deal:

There is no doubt that the Zionist regime basically has problems with any kind of technology transfer and any kind of indigenous progress in the countries of the region.

Regarding the matter itself, according to the usual behavioral habit of the United States, this agreement apparently did not last more than 24 hours and they raised conditions.

The peaceful use of nuclear energy is the right of all countries according to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

The reason or excuse for the actions of the US and its allies against Iran has been this very insistence of Iran on exercising its rights according to the NPT.

Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei:

We expected the new British government to act more wisely than the previous one. Unfortunately, we have seen that it has practically followed the same path, perhaps even worse.

The United States utilized British military bases to support its aggressive operations against Iran.

This action, by any standard, is contrary to international law. Appeasement in the face of an aggressor, and attempts to please a side that explicitly tramples on international laws, will in no way guarantee international peace and security.

It will only further tarnish the reputation of those supporting such a process.

Iran's FM Spox. Esmail Baghaei on the negotiations with the U.S.:

Do not pay much attention to these media speculations. We currently have no negotiations with the United States.

The negotiations we are having, which may sometimes be subject to different interpretations, are the ones we are holding with Oman, focused on making the necessary arrangements regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
