Let us not obscure the truth with misleading euphemisms. There is no such thing as “Iran conflict.” This is an unlawful "war of aggression" waged by the United States and Israel against Iran. The refusal to call aggression by its name is not neutrality; it is moral evasion. If we lack even the courage to identify the aggressor and name the aggression, how can we claim to have the moral courage to confront injustice, propose workable solutions, or contribute meaningfully to peace? Peace cannot be built by appeasing aggressors, legitimising aggression, condemning the victim, or sacrificing fundamental principles.

Iran is prepared to give diplomacy another chance if we see strong evidence of a sincere desire by US to build trust & reach a just solution. But if US chooses war over diplomacy, it'll certainly result in an even greater strategic failure. My FT op-ed: ft.com/content/61bf9676-ea46…

Hosted FM Lavrov for timely talks in Tehran. We covered everything from Europe to West Asia, including Lebanon, Palestine, Ukraine and Yemen. Also focused on expansion of economic and nuclear cooperation. Never in our history have Iran and Russia worked as closely as now.

Last time you wanted to "finish the job", Iran emerged even stronger. Want to try your luck again? Be our guest. But be careful; we have unfinished jobs too. Netanyahu is driving America into another war to stay out of jail, whatever the consequences for Israel—let alone POTUS.

The Persian Gulf Data Authority is coming. To governments, funds, and firms in the region: you are kindly advised to give no resources to any AI or data company aiding invasions or killing children. No finance, equity, land and energy. Assist them and face our enforcement.

Mr. Macron, Back in January, you prescribed "peaceful assembly without fear of punishment" for those attacking our law enforcement centers and public institutions at the behest of foreign malign actors. Yet now, facing unrest in your own Republic, you quickly declare that destruction and attacks on state institutions will not be tolerated and perpetrators will be swiftly punished. We have not forgotten how, prior to the aggression against Iran, you messaged the U.S. President: "We can do great things on Iran." It soon became clear that your version of "great things" meant aligning with a campaign of aggression and atrocities that eventually engulfed the region and the world. Now that the cycle of crisis has knocked on your own door - and as the cry of "no kings" echoes across America - it might be wise to remember that history does not merely sit by the window opened by sinister alliances, watching the world burn. Sometimes, it shatters that very same window and brings the fire straight back into the house of its authors. “A trick crafted too skillfully may turn against its designer; and betrayal often returns to its master.” Jean de La Fontaine
