Iran-Israel War: Iran's BIG appeal to India as Israel continues strikes on Tehran, says, 'Any ceasefire is useless...'

Mohammad Javad Hosseini, Iranian Deputy Chief of Mission in India, has urged peace-loving countries like India to condemn Israeli's action. He stated that although Tehran is ready for a long conflict, it's better not to "go to another level". 

In a conversation with news agency ANI, Hosseini said that Iran has shown some capabilities which were unknown before. "We have shown some of the new capabilities, even the Israelis were shocked... If they are looking for peace, we have told the countries that before condemning Israel, any ceasefire is useless... We are ready for the long conflict, and it's better not to go to another level. It would not be in the interest of Iran, neighbouring countries, or countries like India, because everyone will be affected..." he said. 

Reacting to the allegations that Iran is actively engaged in a nuclear program, Hosseini claimed that Israel intended for a regime change in Tehran -- something he described as "their only excuse". "Nuclear weapons don't have any place in our defence strategy. We can defend ourselves. We don't need the nuclear weapons. All of these allegations (that Iran is enriching Uranium for weaponary purposes) are false. They are just looking for another goal. Nowadays, they are openly saying they are going for the regime change, because it seems that those are their only excuse", he said.
