In a post on his X account, Pezeshkian emphasized that the notion of erasing Iran from existence is an expression of failure to engage with a historically significant nation.

The president noted that such hostile threats only serve to unite the public even further.

He also asserted that the Strait of Hormuz remains accessible to all nations, with the exception of those that act aggressively toward Iran.

Pezeshkian then cautioned that Iran will react decisively to reckless statements and threats, promising a strong response on the battlefield to any provocations.

In a telephone conversation on Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan talked about regional developments and the repercussions of the illegal war imposed by the US and the Israeli regime on the security of the region and the world.

The Iranian foreign minister elaborated on the crimes committed by aggressors against the Iranian people, particularly the attacks on schools, hospitals, and residential areas.

Araqchi emphasized Iran’s determination to firmly defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity, stating that Iran’s actions in targeting military bases and facilities of the aggressors in regional countries are in line with its inherent right to self-defense. He expressed regret that the territories of Islamic countries in the region are being misused for the US and Israeli attacks on Iran.

Araqchi stated that the consequences of the military aggression by the US and the Zionist regime have affected regional security and stability, as well as the safety of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

The top Iranian diplomat added that the insecurity imposed on the Strait of Hormuz is a direct result of the US-Israeli military aggression, and that countries in the region and around the world should hold the perpetrators of this situation accountable for their crimes.

For his part, Fidan pointed to the ongoing impacts of the war in the region and detailed his recent consultations with officials from other countries.

The Turkish foreign minister emphasized the necessity of efforts to reduce tensions and strengthen relations between Iran and the regional countries.

Speaking to Tasnim, the military source said, “Iran has planned new surprises for the coming days of the ongoing war, the implementation of which could produce very big results.”

The source added that the US President Donald Trump is witnessing the failure of all his military options in the war and now is thinking to find a way out of the stalemate.

“That is why he has dragged the war from his runaway ships into social networks,” the source said, referring to Iran’s operation against US warships in the region.

“Trump knows that his offensive and defensive military ammunition is in a very bad condition,” he said, adding, ”Trump has no hope for a military victory and opening of the Strait of Hormuz by military means.”

The source noted that after shortage of military ammunition, Trump has resorted to firing words, which also buys him more disgrace.

“Contrary to Trump’s empty promises, Iran has prepared surprises for the coming days that will make the outcome of the war more obvious than ever.”

He also underlined that Trump should take his head off his phone and social media for a while and from now on, his eyes should only be focused on the sky, the stock market, and the price of oil.

In comments on the sidelines of a weekly press conference of the Foreign Ministry spokesperson, held in Tehran on Monday, Araqchi declared that Iran has neither sent any message nor made any request for ceasefire after the outbreak of the US-Israeli military campaign.

“However, this war should end in such a way that it would not continue anymore and the enemies would not think of aggression again. They have learnt a good lesson up until now,” the foreign minister noted.

Araqchi said the US and Israeli enemies have realized what a great nation they are up against, stressing that Iran has no hesitation in defending itself and will proceed with the war as long as necessary.

He added that the aggressors have resorted to other parties to ensure the security of Hormuz Strait after 15 days of war against Iran and are pushing to keep the strait open.

The Strait of Hormuz is open from the viewpoint of Iran, although it is closed only to the enemies and their allies, Araqchi added.

He underscored that Ian will continue with its honorable resistance against aggression in an unshakable manner.

The informed Iranian official told Tasnim that the claim by the media outlet Axios, known for spreading fake news about Iran-US relations, that Tehran has recently sought communication with Washington, is false and unrealistic.

As military and economic pressure on US President Donald Trump has increased, he has become desperate and is sending negotiation signals in the political arena to affect the energy market, according to the official.

This is while his aggressions and military operations against Iranian citizens have not decreased but are increasing, the source stated.

According to this informed official, Iran has no trust in Trump’s promises, as he has played these same games and attacked Iran at least twice in the middle of negotiations that were in progress.

There will be no agreement that does not secure the long-term interests of Iran’s national security and its regional partners, and the overall situation in the region will certainly not return to pre-war conditions, the source emphasized.

In a post on his X account on Sunday, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani reiterated the Islamic Republic’s position against terrorism while asserting its commitment to defending its sovereignty in the face of allegations from American officials.

He emphasized that Iran does not seek conflict with the American people but is resolute in countering any aggressive actions directed towards the country.

“I have heard that the remnants of the Epstein team have devised a plot to create an incident similar to September 11 and blame Iran. Iran is fundamentally opposed to such terrorist programs and has no war with the American people,” Larijani underlined.

“Today, based on the aggression of the US and Israel against Iran, it is in a defensive position. Of course, in this defense, Iran is very strong and resolute in punishing the aggressors,” he added.

In a statement released on Sunday, Ebrahim Zolfaqari cautioned all neighboring countries and the Muslim people in the region that “the enemy, which has been defeated in the battlefield and in forming political coalitions against Iran, has turned to deceit and has replicated the Iranian Shahed-136 drone, launching attacks on unjust targets in regional countries under the new name ‘Lucas’ drone.”

“The enemy’s purpose is to cultivate distrust and direct accusations at the Islamic Republic of Iran and ultimately to create division between Iran and its neighboring countries, thereby undermining the legal and legitimate defensive actions of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the spokesman said.

He then reminded the regional governments that the defensive doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran is based on completely legal principles and has a strong logical foundation against the military aggressions of the United States and the Zionist regime.

“As the Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly stated, it only attacks targets, centers, and interests of the United States and the Zionist regime, and any place it targets is officially declared, taking responsibility for the consequences,” he underlined.

The spokesman then cited examples of the “mischievous attacks” on centers in friendly neighboring countries such as Turkey, Kuwait, and Iraq, which have been falsely attributed to the Iranian Armed Forces.

“The wise reactions of the officials of these countries to such deceptive and malicious actions will nip this conspiracy in the bud, whereas falling for the tricks of the devil and divisive stances will encourage further expansion of such plots. Therefore, it is essential to trust one another and maintain unity and cooperation to make the invading foreign enemy regret its continued machinations,” Zolfaqari stated.
