WANA (Mar 07) – Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, responded to a recent statement by the UN Secretary-General calling for an end to the war, saying the characterisation of the situation was inaccurate.

 

Writing on X, Baghaei urged the UN chief to “be a little more impartial,” stressing that what is happening is “not a war” but “an unprovoked act of aggression launched by two nuclear-armed regimes against Iran.”

 

He added that the attacks occurred while Iran was engaged in “serious diplomatic negotiations,” and claimed that the United States and Israel had attacked Iran for the second time in nine months.

 

Baghaei also criticised the UN’s focus on “serious risks to the global economy,” asking what about “innocent civilians, including 175 little angels massacred in the city of Minab and many others across Iran who were killed or injured over the past seven days.”

 

He concluded by saying the United Nations must speak clearly and assume its legal and moral responsibilities regarding what he described as an “illegal war against Iran.”
