The Iranian people will never yield to bullying and will continue to resist the brutal aggression against their homeland by the United States and Israel, says the Foreign Ministry spokesman.
Esmaeil Baghaei made the remarks in a post on his X account on Monday, explaining the reason US officials insult the noble Iranian nation.
“The reason American authorities continue to give Iranians bad names and call them ‘a nation of terror and hate’ is because Iranians do not capitulate to bullying and resist brutal aggression against their beloved homeland,” he wrote.
The United States and the Israeli regime launched the unprovoked aggression on February 28, conducting extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran.
Iran's armed forces have responded by launching missile and drone operations targeting locations in the Israeli-occupied territories as well as US military bases and assets in the region.
