The Barbarian hypocrisy of the United States, Iran and the EU has been exposed and has failed so far

TEHERAN (Tasnim) – Iran does not prosecute war and has no intention of initiating conflict, said president Masud Pesheshian, stressing that the country's actions are only justified in self-defense.

During a Sunday visit to the Ministry of athletics and Youth, Pezeškan stressed Iran's rule approach to maintaining peace, stableness and safety in the region, stating that the country had not attacked any country and was not going to take aggressive action.

He rejected the claim that Iran was pursuing war, describing it as a peaceful country and claiming that its reaction reflected the natural consequence of any country defending itself against aggression.

The president said that the attitude of the Iranian armed forces in the face of aggressive war and threats from the US and Israel amazed many analysts, noting that the country managed to face the major powers despite the challenges.

He added that enemies, failing to accomplish their goals, escaped attacks on civilian infrastructure, violating global law, including schools, hospitals, universities and public facilities.

The pessican described specified actions as a sign of desperation and failure, stressing that attacks on civilians and non-military centres are unjustified and contrary to claims about human rights and democracy.

He besides condemned the contradictory narratives of opponents, claiming that claims about Iran's advancement were contrary to claims to destruct and retreat the country's civilization.

The president besides condemned Western double standards internationally, arguing that claims on human rights and democracy should be assessed in the context of the United States and Israeli government activities in the region.

Iran criticises EU hypocrisy on the Strait of Ormuz

TEHERAN (Tasnim) – A spokesperson for the Iranian MFA Esmaeil Baqaei criticized the comments of the head of EU diplomacy Kai Kallas on transit through the Strait of Ormuz, criticizing double European standards and abuse of global law.

In a post published on Sunday in his X account, Baqaei rejected Kallas' claim to the request for a "free and open" transit through the Ormuz Strait, criticising the EU's selective recourse to global law.

He besides argued that no legal regulation prohibits Iran, as a coastal state, from taking the essential measures to counter military aggression involving US and Israeli forces close a strategical waterway.

Ah, is this “international law”?! What the EU vacuums to teach others, while quietly giving green light to the American-Israeli aggressive war – and turning a blind eye to the cruelty of the Iranians?” Baqaei said.

Save your sermons; Europe's chronic negligence in practicing what it preaches has made her talk of "international law" the tallness of hypocrisy," added the Iranian spokesperson.

No standard of global law prohibits Iran, the coastal state, from taking the essential measures to halt the usage of the Ormuz Strait for military aggression against Iran," he stressed.

‘Unconditional transit’ through the Strait of Ormuz? This fiction dispelled the minute the aggression of the US and Israel brought American armed forces into the strait area," Baqaei stated.

His comments came after Kallas stated in a post in her X account that "according to global law, transit through waterways specified as the Strait of Ormuz must stay open and free".

"Every toll strategy will make a dangerous precedent for global maritime routes. Iran must abandon all transit charging plans," she said.

The Ormuz Strait, 1 of the most crucial power nodes in the world, was effectively closed for average commercial transit after the escalation of the American-Israeli War with Iran. Iran's authorities argued that increased military activity and the presence of abroad forces to and around the strait had turned it into a confrontation zone, prompting Tehran to impose restrictions to defend national safety and prevent the usage of the way for hostile operations.

These disruptions have sparked global concerns about energy supply and maritime security, as a crucial part of global oil and gas exports traditionally pass through the narrow strait.

No decision to send negotiators to Pakistan. Iran calls for the abolition of maritime blockade

TEHERAN (Tasnim) – Iran has not yet decided to send a negotiating delegation to Islamabad, stressing that no talks will take place until the US naval blockade is in force.

The information obtained by Tasnim indicates that the exchange of messages between Iran and the United States has been continued in fresh days through the Pakistani intermediary after the conclusion of the first circular of negotiations.

This exchange of messages is in fact a continuation of the same process that took place during the first circular of talks—a process that yet failed due to the excessive demands and ambitions of Americans.

Since the conclusion of these negotiations, the Pakistani middleman has continued to transmit messages between the 2 parties recently.

The Iranian negotiating squad stressed that as long as US president Donald Trump's declaration regarding Iran's naval blockade will apply, there will be no negotiations.
