#Iran's Deputy FM Araghchi: The body of evidence shows that #Biden team has not been able to reach a conclusion & an alternative policy on the #JCPOA... They do not seem to have been able to overcome their internal challenges and reach a single united policy on the #nuclear deal. #Iran's Deputy FM Araghchi: #Europe was unable to compensate the withdrawal of the US from the #JCPOA... The survival of the nuclear deal has been due to Iran's policies in the past 4 years. Just in one case Europeans stood against the US in the UNSC.

#Iran's leader says that the US will sink like Titanic did: "The Americans decorate a facade to deceive others and to scare some.

Enemies want to see result of these economic problems, the Westerners’ deceit in their promises to us, & US pressures on people. Our friends watch worriedly, but we always tell them not to worry. Iranian nation knows what it’s doing

#IRGC's Aerospace commander: #Iran’s Missile strikes at one of the most important US bases was the start of a major operation that will continue throughout the region...We were not after killing. We sought to hit the enemy's military machine.
#AinAlAsad #IRGC's Aerospace commander: We were expecting a response [from the #US to our strikes at #AinAlAsad], and we had prepared ourselves for a battle, and naturally our next strikes (in the case of the #American response) would be heavier and certainly in a vaster scope.
