Americans have the “undeniable right and the solemn duty” to demand accountability from the Trump administration over the US-Israeli “war of choice” on Iran, Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei has said.

“It is beyond dispute that the US administration’s ‘war of choice’ against Iran was a clear, unprovoked act of aggression,” Baqaei said on X.

He posted footage of US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand at a recent Senate hearing amid mounting criticism of the war, saying, “We did not have any evidence that Iran intended to imminently attack this country in any way, shape or form.”
