At his weekly press conference on Monday, Esmail Baghaei called President Trump’s statement “one of the latest and clearest pieces of evidence that the United States is directly participating in a military invasion of Iran.”
Baghai said that since the start of the Israeli regime’s 12-day war, the Iranian government had long been convinced of the US government’s “active complicity in this crime,” adding: “The United States itself has since formally entered the war. This means that this is not a new development and that the direct role of the United States has been further confirmed.”
Bagai stressed that President Trump’s admission directly contradicts previous statements made by the US Secretary of State on June 12, adding that such statements amount to a “clear admission to international crimes” and place full legal responsibility on the US government.
“Shortly after President Trump’s statement, we documented this confession as part of our evidence regarding the Iranian invasion and registered it with the United Nations.”
The spokesperson added that Iran continues to resolutely seek to document Israeli and American military aggression and is considering all possible international legal mechanisms to seek justice and bring charges against the United States.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghai said in a post on the X account on Friday that President Trump’s public admission that he was “largely responsible” for the attack on Israel leaves no doubt that the United States is “actively involved” in the “illegal” act of aggression.
About Iran’s nuclear development
Baghai also responded to International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director-General Rafael Grossi’s claims about Iran’s enriched uranium reserves and alleged ability to produce nuclear weapons in the near future.
He stressed that “the Director-General himself has repeatedly stated, both in official reports and in interviews, that Iran’s nuclear program is completely peaceful and there is no evidence or indication that it has deviated from this course.”
He added: “Our consistent expectation of the IAEA and its Director-General is to act strictly within the scope of its technical mandate and avoid speculation. We continue to urge the IAEA to base its assessments on professional and verifiable facts rather than political assumptions.”
Regarding Kazakhstan’s accession to the Abraham Accords
Commenting on Kazakhstan’s accession to the Abraham Accords and the possible participation of other countries, a Foreign Ministry spokesperson said: “We generally believe that a regime that continues to commit genocide in Gaza and takes aggressive actions against other countries in the region does not deserve any recognition or normalization.”
“Normalizing relations with the Israeli regime would in effect encourage continued crime and perpetuate the state of lawlessness in Gaza and the region. From our perspective, this is completely unacceptable.”
Kazakhstan has maintained relations with the regime for more than 30 years, and the latest statement appears to be an effort to prevent the regime from becoming isolated. Through this symbolic gesture, the United States is attempting to set aside the central issue of the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
This situation places a greater responsibility on regional countries to ensure that attention is not diverted from the issue. ”
