🔴 Pezeshkian: BRICS Reflects Growing Demand for More Balanced, Inclusive World

🔴 Pezeshkian: Attacks on Iran Infrastructure Impact Beyond Region

🔹 The developments in our region, particularly the U.S.-Israeli military aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, have demonstrated that the impacts of targeting a country’s economic, energy, and development infrastructure transcends national borders within a short period, resulting in profound regional and global consequences.

🔹 The people of Iran have paid a heavy price for this aggression; women, men, and civilians have lost their lives, and the infrastructure built over decades for the country’s development has been severely damaged.

🔹 These events serve as a sobering reminder of the grave responsibility of the international community to protect civilians and to prevent the normalization of attacks against non-military entities.

🔴 Baghaei: U.S. Claims on Maritime Security Contradicted by Attacks on Iranian Vessels

The Foreign Ministry Spokesperson stated at today's press conference:

🔹 Regarding the destabilization of shipping in the Persian Gulf and Sea of Oman region, the U.S. enemy attacked a vessel near Hengam Island, during which one of our compatriots, Jamshid Rajabi, was martyred, and several others were wounded, including two Pakistani citizens working on the vessel.

🔹 We offer our condolences to the respected family of the martyr and wish a speedy recovery for the wounded of this incident.

🔹 This is yet another sign that the U.S., having deployed forces thousands of kilometers away from its own borders into our region, claims to be concerned about the safety and security of shipping, yet near our borders and on our coasts, it attacks Iranian vessels and thus endangers the security and safety of waterways.

🔴 Baghaei: Iran Has No Interference in Yemen-Related Matters / Yemenis Make Their Own Decisions

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson at the press conference:

🔹 There is no interference from Iran in Yemen-related matters, but as a country for which the region's situation is important, we know that some parties are exploiting the situation; both to intensify differences and sow discord among Islamic countries and to fish in troubled waters.

🔹 It is very clear that Yemenis make their own decisions. Ansarullah is an independent Yemeni party and adopts the decisions it deems necessary based on its own interests and considerations.

🔹 Maritime security and freedom of maritime trade must be ensured for everyone, and all must be able to benefit from it. You cannot attack, impose a naval blockade and interdiction on a country or countries, and unilaterally expect them to be the guardians and protectors of maritime shipping.
