[Iranian Foreign Ministry: U.S. and Israel Use 'Maintaining Energy Stability' as an Excuse to Justify War Against Iran] Odaily Planet Daily 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 U.S. and Israel are fabricating yet another 'huge lie' for their 'illegal war,' claiming they are 'maintaining peace and stability in the global energy market.' He said it is precisely the warlike actions of the U.S. and Israel that have disrupted what was originally a 'hopeful' diplomatic process. By launching 'unprovoked military aggression' against Iran, they have deliberately created insecurity in critical energy transportation routes, only to then turn around and accuse Iran of destabilizing the situation. Baghaei remarked that this approach repeats the usual pattern of 'creating crises and wars, then escalating the situation further under the guise of restoring stability and defending peace.'
