Iranian Defense Minister: US "Promoting Peace Through Force" is Actually Forcing Submission, Nations Won't Accept It

According to a report by Iranian state television, on October 3 local time, Iranian Defense Minister Nasserzadeh stated in an interview broadcast by the media that day that the so-called "achieving peace through force" concept proposed by the current US administration is not peace at all, but rather forcing other countries to submit through coercive means.

Nasserzadeh pointed out that the United States attempts to force countries to submit to its will through power and force, a practice that has long been widely rejected by the international community. He stated that freedom-loving nations, developing countries, and the entire world will not accept this logic of "promoting peace through force."

Furthermore, regarding the recent increase in US military deployments in the Middle East, Nasserzadeh said that such actions are not appearing for the first time and have occurred multiple times over the past decades. Iran is prepared for defense and will resolutely fulfill its duty to protect the nation. He also called on all sectors within the country to remain calm, not be affected by external psychological warfare, and to continue promoting stable economic and social development.
