Why it matters:
Baghaei’s remarks underscore Iran’s rejection of Israeli allegations, framing the issue within a broader critique of U.S. and Western support for Israel that perpetuates violence and instability in the region.
What he’s saying:
Iran’s missile program was developed “solely to defend the country’s existence and sovereignty, not for negotiation.”
Defensive capabilities designed to deter aggressors “are not open for discussion.”
Israel’s accusations reflect a pattern: “Criminals judge others by their own nature.”
Israel has a long record of assassinations, killings, and acts of terror, and habitually seeks to assign blame in line with its own methods.
While Iran’s defensive missile program is portrayed as a threat, Israel continues to receive a flood of weapons of mass destruction.
He stated that the Israeli regime committed genocide, occupied the territories of two countries, and attacked seven nations in recent months.
Baghaei concluded that this contradiction shows “clear moral corruption,” insisting the U.S. and other countries supporting Israel must be held accountable.
