Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman condemns US, Israel attacks as unjustifiable, warns of global market impacts

Ismail Baqaei, spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry, reacted to military attacks by the United States and Israel, describing them as "savage, baseless and completely unjustifiable" and stating that their consequences extend beyond the battlefield to affect global markets.

In a post on X on Thursday, March 5, Baqaei wrote that the attacks will lead to higher energy prices, currency instability and reduced purchasing power for people worldwide.

Baqaei emphasized that the real cost for Iranians is much higher, as people in the country are being "barbarically killed." He added that the US and Israel deliberately target residential areas and locations likely to cause the highest casualties.

Officials from various countries have warned that continued crisis could bring widespread economic and humanitarian consequences for regional countries and the world, urging involved parties to return immediately to diplomacy and halt the war.

The war between the US and Iran continues, with Russia's Foreign Ministry stating there are no indications that the United States and Israel are prepared to show restraint in the conflict.
