Writing on X on Sunday night, Baqaei emphasized that demonstrations were taking place across the United States and other countries to protest the military aggression of the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran.
“The largest protests in U.S. history are unfolding across the country as Americans demand an end to the illegal war their administration has chosen to wage against Iran,” the spokesperson noted.
He referred to the courage of the American people who oppose the warmongering policy of their administrations, saying: “For years, the American public has demonstrated remarkable moral courage by consistently opposing the misguided and warmongering policies of their administrations.”
Baqaei further mentioned: “Decisions that flagrantly breach international law and starkly violate fundamental human values are often made in secrecy, yet they will ultimately be judged by the public opinion and the global conscience. Iran harbors no hostility toward the American people.”
He concluded: “No American lives or tax dollars should be sacrificed for a senseless “war of whims” driven by vicious whims of indicted war criminals.”
The US and the Israeli regime launched their joint military aggression on Iran on February 28, following their previous war in June last year. Both conflicts were launched as Tehran was in the midst of diplomatic talks with Washington over its peaceful nuclear program.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike targeting his residence and office in Tehran on the first day of the ongoing aggression.
In response, Iran launched precise retaliatory strikes against Israeli positions and US bases, citing its inherent right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter and warned that further escalation will invite a harsher reaction.
