interview, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei denounced Israel's "war of aggression by a genocidal regime," pledging Iran would defend itself with "all force." On potential US involvement, he cautioned: "We're confident our Arab neighbours - with whom we have excellent relations - won't permit their territory to be used against a Muslim neighbour, despite Israel's attempts to drag them into war." While confirming Iran would retaliate against bases launching attacks, he emphasised: "Our current focus remains Israel's aggression - our responses have been precise and proportional." Baghaei revealed the timing proved Israeli bad faith: "They struck two days before scheduled Oman negotiations." He dismissed US credibility ("This aggression required Washington's approval") while demanding UN intervention. Defending Iran's nuclear programme, he challenged: "Where are the IAEA's violation reports? The true criminals bomb inspected facilities." His grave warning: "Mark my words - unchecked, this aggression will consume the entire region."
