Iran says committed to diplomacy but acts in ‘self-defense' against Israel
TEHRAN: Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday his country has remained committed to 'diplomacy' but will continue to act in 'self-defense' following Israel's surprise attack nearly a week ago. 'Iran solely acts in self-defense. Even in the face of the most outrageous aggression against our people, Iran has so far only retaliated against the Israeli regime and not those who are aiding and abetting it,' said Araghchi in a post on X. 'With the exception of the illegitimate, genocidal and occupying Israeli regime, we remain committed to diplomacy,' he added.

Iran's response to Israeli strikes a 'matter of principle', ambassador to UK says
Iran's response to Israeli attacks on its nuclear facilities is "self-defence" and a "matter of principle", the Iranian ambassador to the UK has told Sky News. Speaking to The World With Yalda Hakim, Seyed Ali Mousavi said the "barbaric Israeli regime" is "violating international law" - describing Israel's actions in recent days as "an act of aggression against the Iranian people". The conflict between Israel and Iran - once played out in a series of proxy wars - has escalated in the past three Friday morning, explosions hit Tehran as Israel carried out a major attack on its top army leaders, nuclear sites, and nuclear scientists. Iran threatened "severe punishment" and quickly retaliated with a wave of missiles. When questioned about whether Iran could continue fighting Israel, the Iranian ambassador told Yalda Hakim that "it is a matter of principle". He said: "This is about self-defence, there is no doubt about it. "We are a responsible member state of the UN and we do all activities according to our international obligations. "Any activities are only in the framework of self-defence." He added that his country would "do our best to preserve our territorial integrity", and that "with the help of God", Iran will "materialise endeavours concretely against our enemy - the Israeli regime". Mr Mousavi also told Hakim that Iran's nuclear activities are "monitored", and that recent comments by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) were "politically motivated". Read more here: The UN nuclear watchdog's board of governors found Iran was not complying with its nuclear obligations for the first time in 20 years. Iran said it has "always adhered" to the safeguarding obligations laid down by the watchdog. Announcing Operation Rising Lion on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed Iran had recently taken steps to weaponise enriched uranium, which could be used to make nuclear weapons. But Mr Mousavi stressed that Iran's "peaceful activities" at its "nuclear fields" were only for the "generation of electricity, and other peaceful" things. Iran was due to continue its round of negotiations with the US in Muscat - however, this was cancelled, given recent tensions.

I'm Palestinian. The last thing we need is lunatics hijacking our cause.
Regarding the June 3 news article 'Witnesses reported hearing man shout 'Free Palestine' at pedestrian mall': I am a Palestinian and very much pained by the attack on hostage supporters in Colorado. Palestinians have suffered tremendously and continue to suffer from the devastating actions of the Israeli regime. The last thing we need is loonies hijacking our just cause for liberation, self-determination, and the right to life and liberty, free from the threat of extermination. I would wish nothing less for the Israelis. The Colorado attacker has not helped the cause of justice or peace.
