Mohammad Kazem Gharibabadi, the legal deputy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a member of the Islamic Republic's negotiating team, said in a conversation with Sedavasima on Sunday night, November 15, that the Islamic Republic will not wait for a US attack on its bases or its interests for a military response.
Garibabadi emphasized that the Islamic Republic is still in a state of war and said: "We are not in a state of neither war nor peace." He added that America continues to take military action against our interests, and for this reason, the state of war has not yet ended.
Pointing out that the Islamic Republic is not waiting for an attack on its bases or interests to respond, he argued that until the war is permanently over, our military actions are legally within the scope of legitimate defense.
