Iran to decide when war ends: Araghchi
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said while the US and Israeli regime started the latest war against the country, it is Iran that will decide how and when the war is going to end.
“We have had two decades to study the defeats of the US military to our immediate east and west. We’ve incorporated lessons accordingly,” Iran’s top diplomat wrote in a post on X Sunday, referring to the US military invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000s.
“Bombings in our capital have no impact on our ability to conduct war,” he added.
“Decentralized Mosaic Defense enables us to decide when – and how — the war will end,” Araghchi emphasized.
While indirect nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington, mediated by Oman, were underway, the US and Israeli regime launched strikes on Iran starting Saturday morning. The latest round of talks, held in Geneva on Thursday, concluded with both sides acknowledging “significant progress” — a diplomatic effort now overshadowed by intensified military actions.
In response to the US-Israeli aggression, which has led to the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, a number of senior military commanders and hundreds of civilians, Iran has launched Operation True Promise 4, carrying out massive missile and drone attacks on Israeli targets and US bases in the region.
The Iranian foreign minister, following the latest American and Zionist regime's aggression against the country, sent a letter to the secretary-general of the United Nations and the Security Council.
"In a new series of unprovoked and unjustified aggressive acts against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the United States and the Zionist regime deliberately targeted the highest official of a Member State of the United Nations, i.e., the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on February 28, 2026," Araghchi wrote in the letter to to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday.
