Despite continuing attacks on its soil, Iran’s government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani insists Tehran remains open to dialogue as its representatives arrive in Geneva for diplomatic discussions.
“We believe in listening to the other side. That’s why our diplomats are present in Geneva, to hear the other side out,” Mohajerani told the media.
However, she added that any diplomacy must begin with global recognition of Israel’s attack on Iran.
“What truly matters now is that the world must first acknowledge that a genuinely aggressive regime attacked Iran, targeting our military commanders, children, women, scientists, and ordinary citizens in the middle of the night.”
She warned Western powers, including the US, against further provocation and not to speak to the Iranian people in the “language of threats”.
“If they make a mistake, we will undoubtedly defend ourselves, and we will carry out whatever is rightfully ours,” Mohajerani asserted. “We hope the United States avoids making such a mistake, but should tensions rise, our responseXs will certainly escalate in proportion.”
