Iran Deputy Foreign Minister Calls Middle East Conflict an 'Existential War' Amid Accusations

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh described the ongoing Middle East conflict as an "existential war" for Iran during a geopolitics conference in New Delhi. He accused Israel's Mossad of conducting false-flag operations and criticized recent US and Israeli military strikes on Iranian targets, alleging these attacks caused civilian casualties, including children. Khatibzadeh also claimed the US supports the concept of a "greater Israel," which he linked to regional tensions. These remarks reflect Iran's perspective amid escalating conflict and diplomatic challenges.
