Iran: We don't fear war, but we didn't seek it
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian confirmed on Monday that his country does not fear military war, while the Iranian Foreign Ministry stressed that Tehran did not seek war, but is ready to defend its territory.
The Iranian president added that those he described as "Iran's enemies" know that a military war will not defeat his country, but they are waging an economic war, pointing to Tehran's efforts to overcome it.
Pezeshkian said that Iran has turned to manufacturing missiles as part of a deterrence policy, so that enemies, including Israel, cannot bomb any place at any time, according to his description.
In a press conference, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said that Tehran had warned the international community and regional players of the consequences of any disaster in the region.
destabilization
He stressed that his country avoided military confrontation and did not want war, but he confirmed that Iran would respond forcefully to any aggression from Israel.
He also criticized what he described as the "destabilizing" presence of the United States after it sent B-52 bombers to the region.
He pointed out that sending American bombers to the region will not deter Iran from defending itself, according to his expression.
Two days ago, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said that enemies, including the United States and Israel, “will receive a firm response to what they do against Iran and the resistance.”
This comes in light of Iran's vow to respond to the Israeli attack that targeted military sites in three Iranian cities on October 26.
