Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Iran has won on both the battlefield and the diplomatic front during the recent US-Israeli aggression and last year’s 12-day war, stressing that Iranian resistance ultimately forced the enemy to seek negotiations, state-run IRNA reports.

“Iran rendered the world’s largest conventional army incapable and defeated it. This is not a slogan; it is a reality,” Araghchi said.

He noted that the same enemy that called for “unconditional surrender” on the first day of the war was seeking negotiations about 20 days later.

He added that Iran also demonstrated during the diplomatic process that it knew how to defend its interests.
