BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 22. Iran's position
on its peaceful nuclear program is completely clear and
transparent, Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, said at a press conference in Tehran today,
Trend
reports.
According to him, there is no legal basis for the U.S. military
airstrikes against Iranian nuclear facilities.
Baghaei noted that the proud declaration by U.S. officials of
the bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities increases the
responsibility of the U.S. every time.
"The United States will inevitably be held accountable for this
unlawful maneuver in due course," he pointed out.
On the morning of June 13, Israel launched a series of
airstrikes targeting Iran, resulting in the deaths of numerous
high-ranking military officials, generals, nuclear scientists, and
other senior figures.
That same evening, Iran retaliated with Operation True Promise
III, a large-scale missile and drone assault on multiple targets,
including Tel Aviv, which caused civilian casualties and extensive
damage.
On June 22, the United States conducted airstrikes on three
Iranian nuclear facilities, with reports indicating the destruction
of these sites.
The following evening, June 23, Iran launched airstrikes on a
U.S. military base in Qatar, further escalating tensions in the
region.
On June 24, the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office announced that
Israel had agreed to a ceasefire with Iran, facilitated by U.S.
President Donald Trump. In response, Iran’s Supreme National
Security Council issued a statement confirming the cessation of
hostilities.
