Iraqchi: Resistance Led to War
[It has been interpreted that he is saying the refusal to accept the other side's conditions in negotiations led to war.]

Abbas Iraqchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, on Saturday, June 13, in an interview with the news network, in response to a question about the cause of the two recent wars, said: "Negotiations were not the cause of the war; the resistance of the diplomatic team in the negotiations was the cause of the war."

These statements, which contradict the official position of the Islamic Republic and that of Ali Khamenei, the former leader of the Islamic Republic, faced a strong backlash from media and politicians of the principlist faction.

Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, had said months ago, after the "12-day war," that the enemy attacks wherever it feels we are weak.
