Esmail Baghaei, spokesperson for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Foreign Ministry, declared on Monday that Iran would continue its military campaign, rejecting international appeals for restraint.
Speaking at a press conference, Baghaei said, “We have launched a valiant battle and will continue it with strength.” He dismissed calls for de-escalation, stating, “Ambiguous remarks calling on Iran to show restraint are nothing but nonsense.”
His comments come a day after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Iran would halt its operations if Israel stopped its attacks. The contrast between the two statements reflects apparent divisions within the government’s messaging as tensions in the region continue to escalate.
No response has yet been issued by Israeli officials regarding his remarks.
