Gharibabadi: Nuclear issue is merely an excuse
Tehran - BORNA - Addressing an event in the holy city of Qom on Thursday, Gharibabadi pointed to the 12-day aggression by the Israeli regime backed by the US was not because of pursuing the nuclear program by Iran, but instead they were angry at he Iranian nation's progress under the Islamic Establishment.
“The act of aggression in the midst of negotiations—targeting innocent people, residential areas, and infrastructure—demonstrated that the nuclear issue is purely an excuse,” Gharibabadi remarked.
The deputy foreign minister of Iran added that the recent talks with the new US administration were conducted with “complete distrust” and necessary preparations to counter any military action. He emphasized that during the negotiations, “the field [military readiness] and diplomacy were fully aligned.”
Gharibabadi asserted that both the Israeli regime and the United States “completely failed” in their military actions against Iran.
He stated that the Israeli regime and Washington both failed to achieve their strategic objectives, while Iran delivered “heavy and painful blows” to the Israeli regime, eventually forcing a request for a ceasefire. He further cited a “powerful attack on a US military base in the region” as evidence of Iran’s authority.
