Let's go straight across now, perhaps the first voice from Tehran that's speaking out on a national media here in Bharat Hamidraza Gholamzadeh.

He's the head of the Iran's diplomatic House.

Mr. Hamidraza Gholamzadeh, thank you very much for your time.

My first question is that Iran claims it's responding to aggression, but

critics argue that it's the proxies that have triggered the escalation.

Will Iran take responsibility if conflict escalates into a full scale blowout in the Middle East?

Iran had already warned that any attack would translate into a regional war and the nature of this aggression that they have carried out.

So the United States is attacking Iran with the help of its proxy, the Israeli regime and with the help of the bases that they have in Arab countries in the region.

So the proxy war is something that the Americans have already launched against Iran.

So if there are other players involved in retaliation, there is no blame on Iran is actually the way that they have started.

They have started a war which result is a regional and they need to pay the price for that.

And that's the, you're neither confirming nor denying the involvement of proxies.

But Iraq, Israel and the US Are claiming they own your airspace, that your air defense mechanisms have been severely, you know, deleted and deflated.

They're also saying that strategic assets from Tehran's perspective have also come down degraded.

Has Iran lost deterrence or is the real retaliation yet to come?

If Iran had lost the deterrence, the, the Americans would not change their rhetoric and change their objectives.

At the beginning they said that we are, we want to have a regime change.

And after that they are changing their goals because they could not achieve that.

And we are hearing from President Tony, President Trump saying that the Iranians are asking for negotiations, which is totally wrong and we need to translate it in reverse.

So when he says that Iranians want negotiations, it means that President Trump wants talks.

And Iran has already said that he's not accepting any talks with the United States or with others.

So no, Iran has not been degraded in its strategic assets and its is deterrence.

And most of the damages that the Israelis or the Americans have inflicted upon Iran are just buildings.

They are attacking evacuated buildings and just damaging that.

Neither of the, for example, yesterday they attacked the building of the assembly of Experts, claiming that they have attacked the meeting and the gathering for electing the next leader.

The building that they gather is in Tehran.

While one day had Attacked the building in Boom, which is a, an office building, of course, but

it was already evacuated and there was no meeting at all.

Or many of the military bases and buildings that they have attacked me actually evacuated before.

Most of the casualties that you can see on the reports are civilians.

Civilians who have been in, in their houses, they have been killed or in the schools or the hospitals that they have attacked.

Majority of strong, majority of the casualties are civilians.

Iran has been attacking the American assets in the region and Israeli interests in the region and the occupied lands of Palestine with the Israel regime as well.

Given how things are escalating, is there a rethink on Iran's nuclear deterrence or does that red line still remain?

Iran had never wanted to have a nuclear weapon.

And one of the main reasons was first, it didn't consider it useful.

Second, we had a fatwa, a religious order from the Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, banning any acquisition or using or keeping nuclear weapons.

So with the assassination of supreme leader, the next leader might have a different point of view in terms of religious order and he might not ban access to a nuclear weapon because we are being threatened by the Americans and Israelis both having nuclear weapons.

It would be necessary to defend the country.

So maybe the next leader thinks and decide that it would be better to reverse the order and to have some nuclear weapon in that case.

So you're saying you stand by the fatwa of the former supreme leader.

But if the new current elect supreme leader, that's Mujtaba Khamenei, decides otherwise, there may be and issues a fresh fatwa, then Iran may then progress or follow a different line.

That's very interesting, very important point that you make, Mr. Hamidraza Khalamsade Gholamzadeh.

This war is also bringing in, dragging in some of the neighboring Gulf nations.

Their businesses, their oil pipelines are being hit.

Could this war not be fought without dragging in Saudi Arabia and some of the other NATO nations?

Iran is attacking military bases and any interest or anyone editing this war against Iran.

So yes, Iran has attacked military bases of the United States hotels where in American forces have been residing in those who have been evacuated from the military Bases.

Iran has attacked a port, safety port where the Americans were using.

Iran has attacked airports that the Americans have been using.

And Iran has attacked, for example the database of Amazon, which is giving intelligence and data to Israeli different army.

Iran is not attacking those countries and has.

you pipeline oil tankers here by the secretary of Supreme National Security Council on Saturday he answered that we are targeting only anyone who helps the Americans or Israelis in this fight against us.

So everyone who has invested in the in the Israeli or American army or are helping them in one way or the other, they would be a legitimate target because they are helping the war against the country.

Who wants to drag Arab countries into the war is actually Americans and Israelis because they are running out of Indonesia and they are paying a heavy price.

So they want to paid and at the cost of the Arab countries.

And they want to bring them into the war in order to have their casualties have their weapons and have used them.

And after the war they would sell again same munitions, same weapons to the same Arab countries.

So they are trying to bring them into the war.

But Iran has already warned that they should not get involved.

But Mr. Gholamzadeh, I must ask you this.

You knew that the Americans and the Israelis are watching.

Why do you then have to move the Supreme Leader?

And why was that convention with 88 leaders even you know, grouping that that meeting conducted?

Because he's not a coward like Nathaniel, who represent Trump.

And he actually was in the fight and he was commanding the fight.

And he has been the commander in chief and he has been responsible for that.

We have any fear very strongly office doing his job and his tasks and his duties as the leader.

So he was not covered like Netanyahu to go to the shelters, defending ground or like President Trump moving from this way to the other way to just take refuge.
