“There’s no choice but to protect the integrity of the territory,” Bagaei said in an interview with Iran’s national television on Wednesday.
He made comments following a broadcast message by the leaders of the Islamic Revolution. In his message, the leader said that the Iranian state would stand firm against both the war imposed and the peace imposed.
A spokesperson said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs actually shows that it is committed to Ayatollah Khamenei’s statement.
Just as Iranians defended their country against the eight-year war imposed by the fallen Iraqi Bath regime in the 1980s, “We believe defense is the only remedy for the war imposed,” Baghhai said.
Officials also said that under international law, no one is allowed to force the country to accept the agreement under pressure and threat.
Baghey’s comments came after US President Donald Trump threatened Iran “unconditionally surrendered” as the Islamic Republic continues to respond to Israeli attacks on the soil.
Israel began an invasion on June 13, killing Iranian civilians and assassinating military officials and nuclear scientists.
