Tehran - Saba:
Iran affirmed today, Monday, that it will respond decisively and forcefully to any attack on its sovereignty, territorial integrity, national security, and interests.
The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Ismail Baghaei, stated during a press conference in Tehran, "We will respond with full force and determination to any aggression targeting our territorial integrity, security, or national interests, and there is no doubt about that." He emphasized that Iran's stance is in line with defending its national sovereignty and security.
Baghaei added that Iran "will not publish the content of the message from U.S. President Donald Trump publicly," noting that "it will be responded to through the appropriate channels after completing the necessary discussions."
He clarified that "what is being published in the media regarding the content of the message is speculative, though not far from the public statements of the U.S. president." He indicated that "the message will be responded to appropriately after completing the necessary reviews and investigations."
Trump revealed in a televised interview that he seeks to reach a new agreement regarding Iran's nuclear program and that he sent a message to the Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Sayyid Ali Khamenei, to achieve this goal.
