Iran to Decide When War Ends: Araqchi

“We have had two decades to study the defeats of the US military to our immediate east and west. We’ve incorporated lessons accordingly,” Iran’s top diplomat wrote in a post on X Sunday, referring to the US military invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000s.

“Bombings in our capital have no impact on our ability to conduct war,” he added.

“Decentralized Mosaic Defense enables us to decide when – and how—the war will end,” Araqchi emphasized.

While indirect nuclear negotiations between Tehran and Washington, mediated by Oman, were underway, the US and Israeli regime launched strikes on Iran starting Saturday morning, February 28.

The latest round of talks, held in Geneva on Thursday, concluded with both sides acknowledging “significant progress”—a diplomatic effort now overshadowed by intensified military actions.

In response to the US-Israeli aggression, which has led to the martyrdom of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, a number of senior military commanders and hundreds of civilians, Iran has launched Operation True Promise 4, carrying out massive missile and drone attacks on Israeli targets and US bases in the region.
