💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

We do not accept deadlines. No one can set deadlines for us.

You cannot speak to the people of Iran with the language of threats and deadlines.

One must speak to the people of Iran with respect.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the Strait of Hormuz:

It is not in international waters. It is the internal waters of Iran and Oman.

The strait is currently open and is closed only to those who are at war with Iran.

For many of them, especially those from friendly countries, we have put arrangements in place so they can pass through the strait safely.

Some countries have passed through the strait after reaching an agreement with Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz can be a waterway of peace, enabling the calm passage of ships from all countries.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on possible U.S. ground invasion against Iran:

I do not think they would dare to do such a thing. Very heavy casualties would await them.

You have seen the damage inflicted on them… and what happened to their AWACS?

In ground warfare, we are even better than this.

We are fully prepared to confront any ground threat to our country.

💬 🇮🇷 Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Gulf countries:

We truly do not attack our friends in the Persian Gulf region.

We attack American facilities, American forces, and American targets that unfortunately are located in these countries.

They are using the people of the Persian Gulf as human shields.

The United States is using the territory, airspace, and waters of these countries to attack Iran. Are they fired from 2,000 km away? No.

Three American F-15s were in Kuwait… anyone can ask what were they doing in Kuwait.

They refuel in the region through American aerial tankers stationed at their bases there. If there were no American bases… no one would attack them.

Our friends in the Persian Gulf region should complain about the United States and the Zionist regime instead of complaining about us.

That is really not fair.

💡 🇮🇷 Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson:

Trump's claims that we requested a ceasefire are false.

🤪 🇮🇷 Amazon cloud computing data center in Bahrain was damaged in an Iranian attack.

💬 🇨🇳 Chinese Prof. Zhang Weiwei on Taiwan and Gulf countries:

These Gulf states spent so much money building American bases… and when trouble broke out, the Americans led the retreat.

They spent so much money and got played for fools, then kept getting hit by Iran over and over.

Trump still claims to have won. He always claims victory — but in reality, he’s long been beaten black and blue.

He never imagined things would turn out this humiliating.

I believe that people in Taiwan, when they look at the real situation, will see it clearly.

Hopefully they've also learned a lesson from this Iran conflict.
