In a message on X-Channel, Ismail Baghaei, the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, wrote:

In order to justify their illegal war against Iran, US officials are repeating a "big lie" - "Iran's attempt to obtain a nuclear weapon".

The world, the American people, the region, Europe and the international community must accept that this is a brutal and unjustified act of aggression that lacks any legal, logical or moral justification.

This is an unjust war; a war that cannot be accepted by repeating lies to the world, nor can it be justified with false pretexts.
