The Americans were drawn into this war by Israel or, more precisely, by Netanyahu himself.

I think they do not even know what their ultimate objective is. Every day they say something different: regime change, dividing Iran, collapsing the government, or unconditional surrender.

All of this was based on a miscalculation. Now they realize it and have found themselves in a difficult situation.

Those who demanded unconditional surrender are now forced to seek help—even from their own adversaries—to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, inviting other countries and saying, “Please help.”

The United States started this war and must acknowledge its mistake and end its aggression.

We do not believe in a ceasefire — we believe in ending the war.

And ending the war means exactly that: ending the war on all fronts.

Once and for all, the issue of war in the region is resolved, and that we witness peace throughout the region, in Lebanon, in Yemen, in Iraq, in Iran, and in other countries.

The region should become a stable region characterized by peace, development, and progress.

The cowardly assassination of my dear colleagues Ismail Khatib, Ali Larijani, and Aziz Nasirzadeh, alongside some of their family members and accompanying team, has left us in deep mourning.

I extend my condolences to the great people of Iran for the martyrdom of two cabinet members, the secretary of the Shura, and the military and Basij commanders.

I am certain their path will continue more steadfastly than before.
