Pressed about whether Iran is receiving Russian support, Abbas Araghchi told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that “they are helping us in many different directions.”

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has rejected calls for a ceasefire in the Middle East, telling NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that his country needs “to continue fighting for the sake of our people.”

The U.S. and Israel “are killing our people, they are killing girl students, you know, they are attacking hospitals,” he told moderator Kristen Welker.

He said Israel and the U.S. had already shattered the ceasefire reached to end last year’s 12-day war, adding, “And now you want to ask for a ceasefire again? This doesn’t work like this.”

On Friday, four sources told NBC News that Russia was providing intelligence to Iran on the location of U.S. forces in the Middle East, including intelligence that could help Iran locate American warships.

For the sake of your people? You’ve already killed tens of thousands of them. They are the ones who want you gone!

False equivalence.

Neither Israel, nor USA have less suffering and death in store for them. Not to mention that the bombing campaign will only strenghten support for the IR in the medium term.

Anyone that agrees to an"peace deal" with trump is doing the same thing as Poland did with Hitler.

It might satiate him for a little, but obviously there is no amount that will ever be “enough”.

Which means the peace deal is just until trump attacks you again. And since he’s going after sovereign leaders, it’s literally “you”. Whoever signs a peace deal becomes Trump’s next target if they don’t get killed by their old allies first.

Israel and US have proven to use ceasefire as means of genocide. no one should ever accept a ceasefire with them.

They should have agreed, but not done it. That’s similar to what USA did when they attacked during peace negotiations.
You can’t trust Trump, and when you can’t trust him, you can’t trust USA.
Give him a taste of his own lying medicine.

we learned that ceasefire with US/Israel means. it’s like tying your own nose. no one is stupid enough to accept a ceasefire from USA/Israel

I wonder if Iran believes Russia wants a quick end to a war that is doubling or tripling the amount of money Russia stands to make on gas exports?
