Iran claims victory, stating 'we won both the war and diplomacy'

Iran has declared victory in a recent conflict, asserting that the nation "won both the war and diplomacy." According to Iran's official IRNA news agency, Health Ministry official Erakchi made these claims during a ceremony marking a memorandum of understanding for cooperation in diplomacy and health reconstruction of war-damaged infrastructure.

Iranians created a miracle and surprised the whole world. Nobody had thought that Iran would stand up to the U.S. like this and ultimately force the enemy to demand negotiation.

Erakchi argued that Iran proved itself an "invincible power" by standing against attacks from the United States and Israel. He recounted hearing from foreign officials that "Iranians created a miracle and surprised the whole world." Erakchi stated that no one had anticipated Iran's resistance against the U.S. and its eventual success in compelling the enemy to seek negotiations.

“

He issued a message of unconditional surrender, and the same enemy was begging for negotiations 20 days later.

He specifically referenced U.S. President Donald Trump's call for "unconditional surrender" at the war's outset. "He issued a message of unconditional surrender, and the same enemy was begging for negotiations 20 days later," Erakchi said. He added that the Iranian nation demonstrated its ability to defend its rights in the diplomatic arena, quoting foreign officials who said, "You won both the war and diplomacy."
