Tehran denies seeking a ceasefire and vows to fight “as long as it takes.”By World Israel News StaffIranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said that President Donald Trump’s war against the Islamic Republic was illegal and unnecessary, asserting that Trump was “having fun” wreaking death and destruction in the country.“There are people being killed only because President Trump wants to have fun,” Aragchi told Face the Nation on Sunday. The U.S. is “sinking ships and targeting different places because it is fun.”Aragchi appeared to be referencing comments made by Trump on Saturday, in which the U.S. president said that despite “destroying” all military infrastructure on Kharg Island, the United States could strike the oil hub “a few more times just for fun.”The Iranian official stressed that Tehran is “ready to defend ourselves as long as it takes,” pouring cold water on claims by Trump that the country had asked for a ceasefire via third-party interlocutors.Since the outbreak of the conflict, Iran has maintained a victim narrative as part of its messaging in international media. Tehran has claimed it did not pose any threat to the United States when Washington suddenly attacked.However, critics note that Iran has long been one of the world’s largest financiers of terrorism, funding groups responsible for attacks that have killed American citizens.Additionally, Iran’s nuclear program has faced repeated scrutiny over transparency concerns. Monitoring cameras at critical sites are out of service, and the country has a history of refusing to allow international inspectors full access to certain facilities.Later in the interview, Aragchi falsely claimed that Iran is “only targeting American assets, American installations, American military bases” in Gulf countries.Iran and its proxies have repeatedly been accused of targeting civilian infrastructure across the region, including attacks on major energy facilities and transportation hubs.Tehran has launched numerous strikes on Dubai International Airport and oil infrastructure in neighboring states including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and the United Arab EmiratesThe post Iranian FM: Trump is attacking us ‘for fun’ appeared first on World Israel News.
