️ The Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran to Uzbekistan, Muhammad Ali Iskandariy, made a statement on the tense situation in the Middle East at a press conference on March 4. He criticized the policy of the Donald Trump administration, stating that negotiations with the US have been completely... halted and that American military bases in the region are under direct Iranian targeting.
️ The diplomat focused on the Trump administration's policy, noting that it promoted the slogan "America First" upon coming to power, but in current Middle East policy, Israeli interests have taken precedence. He claimed this shows Israel has been able to influence Trump.
️ Muhammad Ali Iskandariy alleged that the US is attempting to undermine existing mechanisms in the international legal system. According to him, America is taking all measures to prevent its decline, with Iran and other resistance forces serving merely as a pretext on this path.
️ The ambassador emphasized that US forces use military bases in the Middle East to attack Iran, but during retaliatory strikes, they shift to civilian objects, using them as a "shield." He stated that Iranian strikes are aimed only at US military bases and intelligence centers.
️ Iskandariy purportedly said that some attacks on regional countries are not carried out by Iran but by Israel's "Mossad" organization. He described US military bases as a hub for Israeli intelligence activities.
️ The diplomat highlighted that the US regime provides $50 billion in military aid to Israel annually, which exceeds at least Iran's five-year total defense budget. He specifically stressed that Iranian armed forces do not target civilian populations or objects and clarified why Iran does not wish to possess nuclear weapons.
