Deputy head of the National Trust Party: framing a war-versus-peace dichotomy during wartime weakens the country

According to Fars (Telegram), we should not speak in a way that gives the impression we are warmongers. We have essentially been and are peace-seeking. The other side imposed war on us and we have stood firm. Bravery has been shown, martyrs have arisen, and resistance has taken place. This reality should not be conveyed as if we are not peace-seeking and our government is not peace-seeking either.
