According to CoinMeta, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahagae stated: "Let's not use misleading euphemisms to cover up the truth. There is no such thing as an 'Iranian conflict'; this is an illegal war of aggression waged by the United States and Israel against Iran." He said, "Refusing to call aggression by its name is not neutrality; it is a moral evasion. If we don't even have the courage to identify the aggressors and clearly point out their acts of aggression, how can we claim to have the courage to face injustice, propose viable solutions, or make substantial contributions to peace?" Bahagae emphasized, "Peace cannot be achieved by indulging aggressors, legitimizing their actions, condemning the victims, or sacrificing fundamental principles."
