Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Monday that peace is not a luxury served to anyone, but something one must fight for. Baghaei claimed Iran paid heavy prices to promote peace and did not start the war, adding that Tehran pursued diplomatic solutions until the last moment.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei on Monday reiterated Tehran's self-image as a peace-seeking nation that has paid heavy costs for diplomacy, while asserting that peace must be fought for rather than served. Speaking at a press conference, Baghaei claimed Iran did not start the current war and pursued diplomatic solutions until the last moment, adding that "no sane person welcomes war." The remarks are consistent with the Iranian government's public posture, which has repeatedly emphasized Tehran's stated preference for diplomacy while maintaining a hardline stance on military readiness.
