“Israel” has failed to meet any of the strategic objectives
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iranian-strikes-in--israel--caused--3-bln-in-damages>
it declared at the start of its aggression against the Islamic Republic,
Iranian government spokesperson Fatemeh Mohajerani told *Al Mayadeen*.

In a written statement provided exclusively to *Al Mayadeen*, Mohajerani
outlined Tehran’s view of the war, the country’s deterrence capabilities,
and the future of Iran’s nuclear program in the face of international
pressure.

She stated that "Israel's" initial war goals ultimately turned into
"military, security, and diplomatic failures," adding that "Iran’s national
resolve to preserve independence, sovereignty, and internal security has
only grown stronger."

"The Zionist regime made a strategic miscalculation," Mohajerani said,
stressing that it “paid the price for its error.” She dismissed Israeli
claims of having destroyed Iranian defense capabilities, labeling such
statements as "messages for domestic consumption aimed at calming the
Zionist public."

Delving into the Islamic Republic's defense capabilities, Mohajerani
emphasized that Iran’s military posture is based on deep, layered, and
self-reliant capabilities, noting that what unfolded on the battlefield
proved Iran’s readiness
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-to-the-dustbin-of-history---irgc-chief-mousavi-warns--israe>
to launch both symmetrical and asymmetrical responses. “Our retaliation
against Israel was decisive, legitimate, and effective in deterrence,” she
stressed.

Iran redefines ties with the IAEA

Turning to the nuclear file, the Iranian official confirmed that the
Islamic Republic’s peaceful nuclear program will continue uninterrupted
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/araghchi-outlines-post-war-nuclear-diplomacy--warns-against>,
asserting that the Iranian people’s determination to advance high-level
technologies in the service of national development remains unchanged.

She criticized the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its
Director-General, Rafael Grossi, for failing to condemn attacks on Iranian
nuclear facilities. "Not only did the IAEA fail to denounce the cowardly
strikes, but its chief, who is expected to uphold the Non-Proliferation
Treaty, personally refused to condemn them," she said.

Consequently, Mohajerani confirmed that the Islamic Consultative Assembly
(Iranian Parliament) approved legislation to suspend cooperation with the
IAEA, which has since been ratified by the Guardian Council
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iran-guardian-council-approves-suspension-of-cooperation-wit>
and is now binding law.

“From now on, our relationship with the IAEA will take a new form,” she
declared, adding that while the law sets the course, the Supreme National
Security Council will have the authority to shape and adjust future
decisions.

Iran warns of future threats, calls for regional diplomacy

Addressing the broader regional context, Mohajerani called out the double
standards of Western states, which she said have remained silent in the
face of Israeli aggression. “This silence, or in some cases, implicit
support, makes those states complicit in war crimes,” she warned.

She urged countries that claim to support peace and international law to
adopt independent and responsible positions, further reiterating that Iran
remains fully prepared for any scenario
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/it-is-tehran-that-puts-an-end-to-aggression--iranian-governm>
and any potential threat. Iran, she added, did not start the war but will
not hesitate to respond to any future acts of aggression.

“Our red line is national security, and any threat to it will be met with a
firm and decisive response
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iran-to-forcefully-respond-to-any-israeli--us-aggression--ir>,”
she said, simultaneously asserting that Iran’s message to the region
remains one of peace, cooperation, and collective resistance to occupation
and unilateralism.

“The recent war has proven that militarism and reckless policies do not
bring security. They only deepen instability,” she said, concluding that
Iran stands with the peoples of the region in the pursuit of a just,
dignified, and sustainable peace.
