Iran's President, Ebrahim Raisi, in an interview conducted on Thursday, stated that Tehran has been compelled to participate in a war that has now lasted six months. He expressed that Iran has never chosen war, and this war has been completely imposed on them.
Warning Against Continued Attacks
Raisi mentioned the ongoing attacks on Iran in this interview and emphasized that if these attacks continue, Iran will respond severely. He stated: "We do not want war, but if we are attacked, we will show an appropriate reaction." These remarks come as tensions between Iran and the United States have reached a peak.
Background of the War
The current war between Iran and the United States began following increased tensions, especially after the United States withdrew from the nuclear agreement in 2018. Iran has consistently emphasized that this war has been unilaterally imposed on them without any justification. Raisi's statements reflect Iran's firm stance against external pressures and military attacks.
This war, which has not only impacted Iran's economic situation but also negatively affected the daily lives of its people, requires immediate attention and resolution. The President of Iran, referring to this situation, emphasized the necessity of dialogue and diplomacy, stating: "We seek peace, but at the same time, we are ready to defend ourselves."
