Iran ready to confront any military aggression, deputy foreign minister says

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Tehran is prepared to confront any military aggression, commenting on a social media post by US President Donald Trump claiming that he had postponed a planned attack on Iran.

“But at the same time, it speaks of readiness for a massive assault at any moment,” Gharibabadi writes on X. “This means calling ‘threat’ by the name of ‘opportunity for peace’!

“Iran, united and resolutely, is prepared to confront any military aggression.”
