Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei has described as “beyond absurd” a demand by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz from Iran to end the ongoing conflict with the United States and Israel.
In a post shared on X on Saturday, Baqaei asked the German chancellor to instead call on Washington and Tel Aviv to end the war and to demand accountability for the “abhorrent crimes” they have committed against the Iranian people.
“German Chancellor appeals to Iran to end the war! This is beyond absurd: demanding that Iran — the victim of an ongoing unprovoked aggression — somehow bring the conflict to an end. Why not direct your calls instead to the ruthless aggressors responsible for bombing and killing Iranians? Why not demand that the United States/Israel be held accountable for its brutal aggression and abhorrent crimes?” the spokesman posted.
The United States and Israel launched their war of aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and top military commanders, despite indirect nuclear negotiations taking place between Tehran and Washington.
The two regimes have also killed more than 1,400 civilians, including children, and attacked non-military sites, among them schools and hospitals.
Within the framework of its legitimate response, the Iranian Armed Forces immediately initiated decisive missile and drone strikes against US bases in the region and targets in Israel.
