Iranian FM Stands Firm: Self-Defense Is Non-Negotiable

Iranian FM Firmly Responds to US Warning

On March 1, Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi stated that US President Trump's remarks calling on Iran not to retaliate were unfounded. He emphasized that no world leader has the right to interfere with Iran's legitimate right to self-defense.

Self-Defense Rights Are Non-Negotiable

Araghchi stressed that Iran’s actions are purely defensive and protected under international law. He further noted that the real message should be directed at those who frequently launch attacks, rather than stopping a victim from protecting itself.

• Iran insists on exercising its right to self-defense
• Opposes all external interference
• Emphasizes national sovereignty

Strategic Considerations Behind a Strong Stance

In the face of external pressure, Iran has shown a firm position. Araghchi stated that to protect its people, Iran will go to any lengths and will not be constrained by external forces.
