Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaie said Monday that the US does not set the timetable for war and peace.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaie on Monday pushed back against the US role in the conflict, asserting that Washington does not set the timetable for war and peace. Speaking via Iranian-affiliated channels, Baghaie claimed the war, which he said was expected to cause Iran's collapse within three days, has instead lasted five months without the enemy achieving its objectives. He stated that Iran will continue to defend itself and employ diplomatic tools as circumstances require.
The remarks align with Iran's broader public narrative, which has consistently portrayed the conflict as a failure for its adversaries. Tehran has repeatedly framed the war as a test of its resilience and rejected external pressure. As The Zioneer has reported in its ongoing coverage, Iranian officials have maintained a defiant posture, emphasizing that the war will continue until full deterrence is achieved.
No new details were provided regarding the status of diplomatic negotiations or a potential ceasefire. The statement comes as the US and Iran continue to navigate a complex diplomatic landscape, with reports of tentative agreements and ongoing tensions.
