Odaily Odaily News On the 17th local time, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Baghaei posted on his social media account, criticizing the United States and Israel for using "maintaining peace and stability in the global energy market" as a pretext to justify military actions against Iran. Baghaei stated that the US and Israel are fabricating another "big lie" for their "illegal war," claiming they are "maintaining peace and stability in the global energy market." He argued that it is precisely the US and Israel's war-driven actions that have undermined the originally "promising" diplomatic process. By launching "unprovoked military aggression" against Iran, he said, they deliberately create insecurity along key energy transport routes, only to then blame Iran for destabilizing the situation. Baghaei noted that this approach repeats the usual pattern of "manufacturing crises and wars, then further escalating the situation under the guise of restoring stability and defending peace."
