Iran Claims Victory Over US in War and Diplomacy
Tehran Claims Dual Victory Amid Rising Regional Tensions
Iran has declared victory after Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi claims Tehran won both the war and the diplomatic battle against the United States and Israel following recent armed conflicts. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi delivered the remarks on Tuesday, drawing a direct line to the eight-year Iran-Iraq war. Regional media outlets, including Al-Manar, reported that the foreign minister credited coordinated domestic efforts with keeping public health and medical infrastructure functioning through the hostilities.
Drawing Parallels to Past Conflicts
Speaking at a Tehran ceremony, Araghchi asserted that Iranian resistance during a recent 12-day war compelled adversaries to seek negotiations. Regional media outlets, including Al-Manar, reported that the foreign minister credited coordinated domestic efforts with keeping public health and medical infrastructure functioning through the hostilities.
Shifting Demands at the Negotiating Table
Araghchi claimed the Islamic Republic rendered the world’s largest conventional army incapable, noting that foreign ministers and international officials commended Tehran’s resilience. According to the same reports, the adversary pivoted from demanding an unconditional surrender on day one to seeking diplomatic engagement roughly twenty days later.

Hardened Stance Shuts Door on Washington Talks
Even while touting diplomatic success, Araghchi slammed the door on new negotiations with Washington. The condition stands as long as the United States continues to violate the war-ending Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two sides.
Corporate Compliance and Treasury Stress
Official accounts cited by Al-Manar show that the 12-day conflict followed an earlier 40-day military assault on February 28.
