Araghchi: No talks while Zionist regime’s attacks continue 

He was speaking after a meeting in Geneva with the foreign ministers of the three European countries (France, Germany, and the UK) and the EU’s foreign policy chief.

“We had serious discussions with the Europeans today (but) as long as the Zionist regime continues its attacks, we will not enter negotiations with any other sides”, the top Iranian diplomat noted. He reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to its legitimate right to self-defense, saying the country will continue to respond to aggression as long as it is necessary.

Araghchi also expressed concern over the international community’s failure to condemn Tel Aviv’s brutal attacks, slamming the silence as “deeply worrying”.

He added, “We support continued dialogue with the E3 and the EU and we are prepared for another round of talks in the near future”.

Iran’s Cyber Security Command: Enemy C4I system disrupted in ongoing cyber operations

The statement said the counter measures include the disruption of enemy command and control infrastructure (C4I).

According to the statement, since the beginning of the Zionist regime’s attack, Iran has been the target of multiple cyber assaults on its critical infrastructure like the banking system and internet services. However, the resilience of domestic networks has been largely maintained, thanks to the continuous efforts of Iranian cyber security experts.

Iran’s Cyber Security Command highlighted several key achievements including blocking the majority of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, restricting access for hostile hacker groups attempting data theft or service disruption, partial collapse of the enemy’s C4I structure near active military zones and damage to enemy data collection networks used for targeted operations.

The statement added that other successful countermeasures remain classified due to wartime security concerns.

 

It also issued a warning to groups collaborating with the Zionist enemy, saying they have been identified and will be held accountable.

Iran determined to defend itself against Israeli attacks: FM

Abbas Araghchi

Araqchi said on Friday at a session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva:Currently, Iran, a country with a population of 100 million, is the target of blatant aggression by a regime that for two years has committed horrific genocide in Palestine and occupied the lands of neighboring countries.

The foreign minister stated: Israel has launched an unprovoked attack on Iran, in clear violation of the UN Charter and with blatant disregard for all principles and rules that this council defends.

Araqchi added: Hundreds of Iranian people have been killed and wounded as a result of Israel’s surprise armed attacks and terrorist operations targeting residential areas, public infrastructure, hospitals, and medical centers. Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, despite being under the full supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency and despite international law strictly prohibiting attacks on such facilities, have also been targeted.

He said Israel’s attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, considering the risk of environmental and health disasters caused by radioactive material leakage, constitute major war crimes.

The Foreign Minister stated: Iran is under a ruthless act of aggression. This obvious fact must not be distorted by Israel and its supporters. Israel’s aggression against Iran cannot and must not be justified by any legal or moral standards. Any justification for this unjust and criminal war amounts to complicity in the crime.

He added: Israel commits war crimes and crimes against humanity. International humanitarian law, already severely weakened by Israel’s ruthless crimes in occupied Palestine and elsewhere, is now under even graver threat due to Israel’s blatant violations of the 1949 Geneva Conventions.

He said the consequences of this aggressive war will not be limited to any single country. The entire region and beyond will be affected. But more than that, the entire international legal system based on the United Nations will be gravely endangered.

According to the statement, the strikes hit multiple locations, including military command and control centers, defense industry complexes, support companies involved in the Zionist regime’s military operations, and air bases such as Nevatim and Hatzerim.

The attack was described as a response to the Zionist regime’s long-standing aggression against the people of Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and its ongoing war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The statement noted that the ballistic missile strikes on Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Beersheba were accurate, underscoring the escalating offensive capability of the nation’s missile arsenal aimed at deterring further acts of aggression by the ruling criminal gang in Tel Aviv.

The statement also praised the unity and resolve of the Iranian people, both domestically and abroad, as well as the solidarity expressed by resistance movements, religious leaders, and free nations worldwide, which it said has strengthened the morale and determination of Iran’s armed forces.

Abbas Araghchi

Speaking at the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on Friday, Araghchi said, “Iran has been attacked by an entity that has committed genocide in Palestine for two years and continues to occupy neighboring countries”.

The top Iranian diplomat noted that the Zionist regime’s aggression is a clear violation of Article 2 of the Human Rights Council charter.

He underscored that several Iranian officials and civilians have been assassinated in the Israeli strikes, which targeted public infrastructure, hospitals, and nuclear facilities that are under supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“The attack is completely unjustifiable,” Araghchi said, adding that justifying such aggression amounts to complicity in it which is a serious breach of international humanitarian laws.

He also revealed that Iran was scheduled to meet with US officials on June 15 to finalize a promising agreement on its nuclear program, but the Israeli attacks disrupted the process.

The Iranian foreign minister noted that the Zionists’ strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities are not only illegal, but they also constitute serious war crimes.

Another Iranian hospital targeted in Israeli rocket attack 

According to Iran’s Ministry of Health and Medical Education, the attack occurred at approximately 00:45 a.m. local time on June 20. This is the third Iranian hospital targeted by the Zionist regime in recent days.

The ministry also confirmed that six ambulances and a comprehensive health service center have been attacked during the ongoing hostilities, which Iranian authorities have condemned as barbaric and inhumane.

In the past seven days of unjust and cowardly aggression, more than six violations of international conventions have been documented, raising serious concerns about the disregard for humanitarian and international law by the occupying regime, said the ministry.

The Israeli regime’s onslaught on Iran has so far martyred hundreds of civilians.

Iranians hold nationwide anti-Israeli rallies, voice support for armed forces

Tehran worshippers, standing in united rows, chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel”, condemned the recent crimes of the Zionist regime—particularly the aerial attacks on various regions in Iran that led to the martyrdom of a number of defenseless civilians in urban and residential areas—and emphasized unity, solidarity, and resistance in the face of enemies.

The demonstrators, holding Iranian flags and placards reading slogans such as “Defense is our legitimate right,” also chanted slogans in support of Iran’s armed forces for their decisive response to the Zionist regime’s attacks, and called for the continuation of these retaliatory strikes with full strength and determination.

They asserted that now is the best time to destroy the criminal, child-killing Zionist regime.

Tehran demonstrators marched from the University of Tehran to Enghelab Square, carrying placards with messages such as “No to Negotiation,” “My Life for the Leader,” and “Labbaik Ya Khamenei,” while chanting passionate slogans.
They also burned the flag of the Zionist regime.

Similar demonstrations were held in other cities across Iran.
This came despite claims by American and Zionist media, which had predicted that following Israeli attacks on Iranian cities, people would not attend Friday prayers due to security concerns.

In a message addressed to the Leader and the people of Iran, Shamkhani expressed his readiness to serve in these critical times, stating: “We are a nation of hope and dignity. We may suffer loss, but we do not bow. We may bleed, but we do not surrender our identity. Our martyred commanders, our proud scientists, our men of the battlefield and the pulpit — they are never absent. They flow like blood in the veins of this nation. And now their sacred flag has been passed to us, so it will never fall to the ground.”

Shamkhani continued:”I am ready — not once, but a hundred times — to sacrifice myself for this land and its unparalleled people. Noble and beloved people of Iran, I wrote these few lines to tell you: you are not alone.”

In his message, Shamkhani also stated: “Let our dear and courageous Leader be assured: his children are still in the field — not only with weapons, but with faith and hope. And let the enemy know: fighting Iran is a game with fire that will leave them nothing but ashes.”

Foreign Minister: Iran Not Seeking Negotiations Amid Zionist Aggressions

Foreign Minister: Iran Not Seeking Negotiations Amid Zionist Aggressions

In an interview with the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Araqchi stated: “The Americans are seeking negotiations and have sent messages several times. But we have responded clearly that as long as this aggression and assault continues, there is absolutely no place for talk of dialogue or diplomacy.”

Araqchi added: “We are currently engaged in legitimate self-defense, and our defense will in no way be halted. We are not speaking with the US, as they are partners in these crimes. We have had no contact or dialogue with the Americans, and we will not have any under the present conditions.”

According to Iran’s Foreign Minister, there are numerous signs indicating collaboration between US forces in the region and the Zionist regime.

“We consider the Americans as allies and collaborators of the Zionist regime in this matter,” he said.

Referring to the retaliatory strikes by Iran’s armed forces in response to the Zionist regime’s attacks, Araqchi noted: “The courageous resistance put up by our armed forces is gradually revealing that their assumption—that the Iranian nation would surrender—was a false belief.”

Araqchi also said that no expectations can be placed on international organizations dominated by the West to take any action against the Zionist regime. “We had no expectations either—but we wanted the world to see and understand the reality,” he stated.

He described the wave of condemnation among Islamic, Arab, and regional countries against the Zionist regime’s aggression as strong.

Commenting on efforts by officials from some countries urging Iran to return to diplomacy, Araqchi said: “We were already in the middle of diplomacy—what are we supposed to return to? Even the Westerners themselves cannot explain why they fail to condemn the Zionist regime’s attack on nuclear facilities.”
