Irans ambassadør: "Fred og venskab", hvis USA forlader landet

Irans ambassadør i Sverige, Hojatollah Faghani, sagde til SVT's Aktuellt, at regionen kunne opleve fred og venskab, hvis de amerikanske styrker forlod området. Han forsvarede Irans modangreb efter USA's og Israels angreb og afviste mange krigsrapporter som rygter.

I et interview i SVT's Aktuellt den 17. marts 2026 talte Irans ambassadør i Sverige, Hojatollah Faghani, om den igangværende krig mellem Iran, USA og Israel. USA og Israel slog til mod Iran i slutningen af februar og dræbte flere højtstående regimefigurer, herunder en leder, hans familie og kommandanter. Faghani udtalte: "Drabet på vores leder, hans familie og nogle af vores kommandanter har vist, at Iran ikke er afhængig af enkeltpersoner. Iran har indledt modangreb på amerikanske og israelske militære mål i flere regionale lande, men rapporter tyder på, at civile områder som beboelseszoner også blev ramt. Ambassadøren hævder, at ingen naboer var mål, og at handlingerne fulgte international lov: "De angrebne har ret til at forsvare sig selv. Derfor har vi ikke angrebet vores naboer. Vi kan godt lide vores naboer. Han sagde, at civile faciliteter blev ramt, fordi amerikanske soldater gemte sig der. "Hvis det amerikanske militær forlader området, hvilket jeg håber på, vil vores region bestå af fred og venskab. Faghani tilskriver Irans fattigdom og høje inflation 47 års sanktioner og afviser statistikkerne som overdrevne. Tidligere protester i Iran blev voldsomt undertrykt; regimet rapporterer om over 3.000 dødsfald, mens kilder som HRANA og sundhedsministeriet nævner over 30.000. En analyse af Samir Abu Eid beskriver ambassadørens opførsel som blød, men regimet som hårdt, og nævner angreb på civile mål som Dubais lufthavn og et vandværk i Bahrain.
