By now, the whole world should know that:
(1) Iran solely acts in self-defense. Even in the face of the most outrageous aggression against our people, Iran has so far only retaliated against the Israeli regime and not those who are aiding and abetting it. Just like Netanyahu manufactured this war to destroy diplomacy, the world should be highly alarmed about increasing attempts by the failing Israeli regime to get others to bail it out and to expand the flames to the region and beyond.
(2) Iran has proven in action what it has always publicly committed itself to: we have never sought and will never seek nuclear weapons. If otherwise, what better pretext could we possibly need for developing those inhuman weapons than the current aggression by the region's only nuclear-armed regime?
(3) Iran will continue to exercise its right to self-defense, with pride and bravery, and we will make the aggressor regret and pay for its grave error.
(4) With the exception of the illegitimate, genocidal and occupying Israeli regime, we remain committed to diplomacy. As before, we are serious and forward-looking in our outlook.
Reminder that there is no war in Palestine.
There is no Palestinian army, navy or air force.
There is just Israel, slaughtering civilians & clearing land - which is called ethnic cleansing.
We learn today the British head of state takes money from ambulances, cancer charities and fire stations because somebody won a battle 600 years ago.
There are grown, sentient adults who support this.
It’s illuminating that Israel can send drones up close like this to stare Hamas members in the face and yet they choose to drop 2000 pound bombs on crowded civilian areas.
The Zionist terrorist didn’t target Hezbollah members. They targeted everyone with a pager including doctors and nurses, killing a child. This is a nation wide terrorist attack.
Moments ago: Israel has bombed the Ibn Haitham school in Gaza City, which shelters dozens of displaced Palestinian families. Israel’s daily slaughter of the innocent is a direct result of the impunity. Mass murder and mass destruction has become normalised.
“Israel is genociding the Palestinians one neighborhood at the time, one hospital at the time, one school at the time, one refugee camp at the time, one ‘safe zone’ at the time. With US and EU weapons. And amid the indifference of all ‘civilized nations’.”
—UN Special Rapporteur
