    — 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei, on X:

    'A video of a violinist playing a love song amidst the thunder of Israeli missiles over residential areas of Tehran.

    Here is Iran: proud, courageous, civilized, artistic, dynamic, peace-loving, patriotic, loving life, and determined to defend a land that has never bowed down in the face of countless hardships and hostilities.

    For Iranians, Netanyahu’s aggressive war is reminiscent of Saddam Hussein’s imposed war on Iran in the 1970’s.

    We are all determined to defend our beloved homeland and our dignity with all our might, against a genocidal enemy whose expansionist and warmongering ideology knows no bounds.’
