On July 20, local time, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagae said at a press conference that war and diplomacy are “two wings” for safeguarding Iran's national interests. He stressed that Iranian diplomats will not abandon their inherent duties for fear of being deceived, just as Iran's armed forces will not forget their mission of defending the country because the enemy has technical advantages. Bagaega made this statement in response to a question about whether the door to negotiations between Iran and the US will be closed. He pointed out that Iran will carry out wars and diplomatic decisions based on national interests, and that diplomacy and war are tools to pursue national interests.
