The Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding has never been closer. Pending its finalization, the media should refrain from entering speculation about its content.

In line with our responsible and transparent approach, all details will be shared with the public in due course.

The brutal U.S. attacks on Indian commercial vessels which have killed at least three Indian nationals, stand as clear evidence of America’s ongoing policy of armed robbery and State piracy.

We extend our sympathies to the families and friends of the slain Indian sailors and offer our sincere condolences to the Indian people and government.

The international community must hold the United States accountable for its lawless conduct, which continues to threaten global peace and security while endangering the freedom of navigation.

Исламская Республика Иран сердечно поздравляет Правительство и народ Российской Федерации с Днём России.

Желаем нашим коллегам в @mfa_russia и дружественному народу России мира, процветания и дальнейших успехов.

The Islamic Republic of #Iran extends its congratulations to the people and Government of the Republic of the #Philippines on their national Day.

The common agenda of the two nations is to strengthen bilateral relations in all fields.

"The great error of nearly all studies of war, an error into which all socialists have fallen, has been to consider war as an episode in foreign politics, when it is especially an act of interior politics, and the most atrocious act of all", so observed the French philosopher Simone Weil.

From this perspective, targetting the drinking-water tanks in Sirik, southern Iran, strips the mask from the true nature of the power; a power that has spent decades cloaking itself in the language of 'human rights', 'international order', and 'moral responsibility' reveals its essence when it deliberately destroys the drinking water of Iranians. In that moment, it does not merely attack a target — it strikes at the very foundation of the noble narrative it has built about itself.

Empires do not fall when their enemies grow stronger; they fall when they can no longer sustain the bridge between what they proclaim and what they do.

The moment of decline is not the collapse of city walls; it is the collapse of the credibility of words that have long concealed reality. What remains is what T.S. Eliot so hauntingly described:
"Shape without form, shade without colour, paralysed force, gesture without motion."

[Esmaeil Baqaei @IRIMFA_SPOX]

Water is the pulse of life — and the U.S. is deliberately targetting the lifeblood of the Iranian people.

As part of its aggression against Iran, the U.S. military has deliberately struck vital civilian water infrastructure in Sirik, Hormozgan, destroying two reservoirs with a combined capacity of 2,500 cubic meters.

These facilities supplied drinking water to more than 20,000 residents across ten villages.

This is not collateral damage — it is a calculated war crime and a flagrant violation of human rights and international humanitarian law.

The U.S. must be held accountable for committing such systematic brutal attacks on civilian life-sustaining infrastructure.

[Iran Mission UN Vienna @PMIRAN_Vienna]

Today, Board of Governor adopted with a shaky vote, another political resolution on Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities; devoid of professionalism expected from a technical body.

How can #IAEA be trusted when instrumentalized by warmongers, and decapacitated in a way that is not even able to express a simple concern over the most extensive unlawful armed attacks - unprecedented in its history- on peaceful safeguarded nuclear facilities of a member State?

The resolution hypocritically expresses support for a diplomatic solution, while the U.S. simultaneously engages in further acts of aggression including against Iranian civilian infrastructure and promotes confrontation in different fora. Diplomatic solution needs a minimum good faith.

Iran will protect its inalienable rights including in response to this flawed resolution.

Here is Iran’s full Statement before adoption of the resolution: https://t.co/AhYyS4xIcA

¡Maravilloso! Sigue así, México.

El fútbol es una plataforma para la sana competencia y para acercar a las naciones, no una excusa para abrir la caja de Pandora de viejos rencores y desatar complejos profundamente arraigados.

La Copa Mundial está concebida como una celebración global del fútbol, no como una oportunidad para humillar y discriminar a otras naciones.

Si bien surgen informes preocupantes sobre el trato inapropiado e irrespetuoso hacia jugadores, árbitros e invitados en los puntos de entrada a Estados Unidos, la cálida y cortés bienvenida que el pueblo mexicano brinda a los equipos de fútbol sirve como un poderoso recordatorio de una verdad simple: la excelente hospitalidad se define por la conducta humana y la capacidad de hacer que los invitados se sientan genuinamente bienvenidos y valorados.

La verdadera credibilidad de un país anfitrión no se mide únicamente por las instalaciones deportivas o la grandilocuencia política, sino por la calidad del trato que se brinda a quienes llegan a su país por amor al fútbol.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Despite its defeats on the battlefield, the U.S. opted to test our determination.

Our Powerful Armed Forces will leave no attack or threat unanswered.

Leave our region if you want to be safe.

History of the Persian Gulf has many chapters on dire fates of intruding outsiders.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Foreign forces in proximity to our territory are at constant risk on account of their own human errors, plain accidents, or potentially being caught in crossfire.

To reduce risk, best solution is for them to leave.

We prefer language of diplomacy but speak other languages too.

[Esmaeil Baqaei @IRIMFA_SPOX]

The pieces of the puzzle are falling into place with remarkable speed.
They carried out a 'false-flag' operation by deploying a copied 'Lucas' drone to strike Kuwait Airport — manufacturing the perfect pretext to market their 'Powerus'-developed anti-drone air defense systems under the guise of protecting against Iranian attacks.
Profitable indeed!

[Esmaeil Baqaei @IRIMFA_SPOX]

Calm down, Mr. prime minister @ediramaal.

It was YOU, sir, who started this. So...you should 'face the music'!

It would be wiser to show some respect for the intelligence and judgment of your own people, as a nation of rich culture and proud history. They are perceptive enough to distinguish truth from falsehood. If you choose to sell your national sovereignty, that is your decision. You do not owe us an explanation. But when confronted by the outrage and criticism of your own public, please do not use others as a convenient scapegoat to evade accountability. Instead of writing a lengthy pamphlet filled with hackneyed baseless accusations against Iran, take a moment to listen to your own people who are chanting in the streets:
"Jo korrupsionit!"
"Duam drejtësi!"
"Rama ik!"

Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe

Extend sincere congratulations to His Excellency PM Nikol Pashinyan for his party's electoral victory.

Our neighbors are our priority.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Based on Mr. Aoun's comments, one would think it's Iran that has occupied 1/5 of Lebanon, displaced 1/4 of Lebanese and bombing his country on daily basis.

Had Lebanon been bargaining chip for Iran, we'd have a deal long ago.

Save Lebanon from your real foe, Mr. President.

[Esmaeil Baqaei @IRIMFA_SPOX]

Germany’s failure to secure a non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council — for the first time in decades — is a stark rebuke from the international community. It reflects growing global outrage over the German ruling establishment’s irresponsible, hypocritical, and complicit stance toward the genocide in Gaza and US-Israel’s military aggression against Iran.

Germany, one of the largest suppliers of lethal weapons to Israel, has consistently justified the genocide of Palestinians. And when the Israeli regime launched its aggression on Iran, Berlin refused to condemn it; instead, it shamelessly described it as “dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us.”

The world is changing. Nations are no longer judging governments by their lofty rhetoric about international law, but by their actual behavior. Those who choose to ignore this shift will inevitably pay a heavy diplomatic price.

[Esmaeil Baqaei @IRIMFA_SPOX]

4th June, the International Day of Innocent #Children Victims of Aggression, is a day when the human conscience must confront a painful question: for what crime are innocent children being killed?

Today, we honor the memory of children who were destined to dream, to be happy, to study, and to build the future — but before they could even come to know life, they became victims of war crime, occupation, and bombardment.
From #Gaza and the #WestBank to #Beirut, #Minab, #Lamerd, #Tehran, and many other places across Iran and the world, wherever children have perished under the bombs and missiles of the United States and the Israeli regime, the truth is the same: no military objective, no political interest, and no security pretext can ever justify the slaughter of children.

Children are neither parties to war nor tools of it. They are the living conscience of humanity. Every child killed or maimed is a burial of a part of our shared humanity.

Today, ahead of the anniversary of the martyrdom of Seyed Mohammad Reza Sedighi Saber and his family in July 2025, I visited their grave to honor their memory and pay respect to their noble souls.

The malicious enemy has been defeated in its confrontation with the Armed Forces. Since it has received a decisive blow both in military combat and in [Iran's] public squares and streets, it’s experiencing a profound, significant humiliation.

[Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei @MKhamenei_ir]

Imperialism, led by the US, has built a military base called Israel over the past 80 years. And they don’t accept the existence of a strong, independent Iran on the eastern border of the false, illegitimate geography of "Greater Israel"—that is, east of the Euphrates River.
