Iran: Strikes Were Self-Defense, Diplomacy Still Possible
Nearly a week after a surprise Israeli attack that left several Iranians dead and caused major damage, Iran says it is still choosing diplomacy—but won't hesitate to defend itself. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi shared the country's stance on X (formerly Twitter), saying: 'Iran solely acts in self-defence. Even in the face of the most outrageous aggression… we have only retaliated against the Israeli regime and not those who are aiding and abetting it.' He emphasized that Iran continues to seek peaceful solutions, except when it comes to Israel, which he described as 'illegitimate' and 'genocidal.' Trump Tells Putin to "Fix Russia First" Meanwhile, former US President Donald Trump had strong words for Russian President Vladimir Putin after he offered to mediate in the Israel-Iran conflict. Speaking in an interview, Trump recounted their conversation: 'I said, 'Do me a favour—mediate your own. Let's mediate Russia first, okay? Worry about this [Israel-Iran] later.'' His statement refers to the ongoing war in Ukraine, which has caused global tension since Russia's invasion in 2022. What's Next? With both Iran and Israel continuing their back-and-forth attacks and global powers weighing in, the situation remains volatile. While Iran insists it won't escalate unless provoked, the region's stability hangs in the balance—especially with growing international involvement.

Khamenei: Iran "Will Not Surrender"
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei delivered an address to the nation on Wednesday, June 18, emphasizing that the country will not surrender to the US. The address was televised in which the leader said that Iran 'will stand firm against an imposed war, just as it will stand firm against an imposed peace'. 'This nation will not surrender to anyone in the face of imposition,' he added. The Iranian leader also responded to the statements made by US President Trump, saying, "Iranians do not answer well to the language of threat". 'And the Americans should know that any US military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable consequences,' he added. This was the Iranian supreme leader's first address to the nation since Israel's attack on Iran on Friday, June 13. Ali Khamenei's address was followed by President Trump's statement at the White House on Wednesday about Iran. When asked about the US moving closer to attacking Iranian nuclear facilities, President Trump said, "You don't know that I'm going to even do it. You don't know. I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do." These statements were followed by Israeli strikes in Najafabad, which killed six people, including two children, according to Iran's Tasnim news agency.
