Why it matters:
The statement underscores Iran’s deep resentment toward U.S. hostile policies in West Asia and its alliance with the Israeli regime.
Context:
In his speech at Knesset (the Israeli parliament), the U.S President referred to Israel’s attack on Iran’s IAEA-safeguarded nuclear facilities, stating that Iran suffered a devastating blow, and added that reaching a peace agreement with the Iranians would be excellent.
What the statement is saying:
The U.S. has no moral authority to accuse others.
The U.S. is the world’s biggest sponsor of "terrorism" and a backer of “the genocidal Zionist regime.”
It condemned the U.S. assassination of General Qassem Soleimani, calling him a hero in the fight against the U.S.-made Daesh (ISIS), and vowed that Iranians “will neither forgive nor forget” the act.
The ministry rejected U.S. claims about Iran’s unpeaceful nuclear program, saying such accusations cannot justify “aggression against Iran’s sacred soil.”
The U.S. shields Israel from accountability at the UN and obstructs international legal efforts to prosecute Israeli war crimes.
U.S. arms sales and support for Israeli occupation are key drivers of regional instability.
The U.S. President’s stated desire for peace and dialogue stands in stark contrast to his country’s hostile and criminal actions against the Iranian people. How can one claim to pursue peace and friendship while simultaneously launching attacks on residential areas and peaceful nuclear facilities during diplomatic negotiations, resulting in the martyrdom of over a thousand individuals, including innocent women and children?!
