Iran's Ambassador to Japan says his country is 'reviewing its options'

TOKYO- (PanOrient News): Peiman Seadat, Iran's Ambassador to Japan, stated on Sunday that his country is reviewing its options after the attack on its nuclear facilities by American bombers.

"Whether Iran decides to retaliate or not, we are currently reviewing our options. The leadership of my country will soon decide on how to respond to this aggression," the Ambassador stated at a press conference held at the embassy in Tokyo. "We have already made it clear that we will respond decisively to any acts of aggression; the world has witnessed the capabilities of Iranian ballistic and cruise missiles." He also warned that Iran "never bows" and "never submits to foreign aggression."

The Ambassador strongly urged the international community to unequivocally condemn the American "act of aggression."

"The United States, in full coordination with the Israeli regime, carried out deliberate and unprovoked airstrikes against three safeguarded Iranian nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. At the time, the Israeli regime was already targeting Iranian civilians and essential infrastructure. The impact of these attacks is currently under investigation."

Ambassador Seadat warned that the conflict could escalate. He stated, "If the world does not respond, this situation may spread to other regions. Our neighboring Arab and Muslim countries are concerned and have issued a strong joint statement condemning the Israeli government."

Iranian Ambassador Seadat commented on Japan's reaction, stating that Iran is awaiting the Japanese government's position. He emphasized that Iran encourages all members of the international community to strongly condemn the American attack. "If they do not," he said, "they will set a dangerous precedent."

The Ambassador did not confirm whether Iran would withdraw from the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (NPT), but did not rule out the possibility.

He described America's attacks during negotiations as "total deception." He stated that Trump was deceiving the entire world and is now delighted, caught up in his compulsive, obsessive self-admiration. President Trump and Netanyahu congratulated each other for their blatant violation of international law.

Iran has accused the United States of undermining diplomacy and supporting the aggressive actions of the Israeli regime. Ambassador Seadat stated, "The U.S. has initiated a dangerous war against Iran. In line with the United Nations Charter, Iran reserves the right to defend its sovereignty and people."

The Ambassador assures that Iran has the capability to accurately target and strike Israel with precision missiles and war drones.

He points out, "If you look at the number of casualties in Israel, it is 24 or 25. This demonstrates how carefully we have targeted them. Our casualties, however, are 450 people killed and 3,000 injured. This shows that the Israeli regime is targeting our innocent civilians. That’s the difference."

In response to the American attack, the Ambassador mentioned that its impact carries geopolitical implications, which Russia, China, and other countries will consider. (PanOrient News)
