JAKARTA - Iran's Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs (Wamnelu) for legal and international affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, said the Islamic Republic is ready to face a US military aggression.

Gharibabadi said this in response to Trump's post saying he postponed a planned attack on Iran that was due to be launched on Tuesday, May 19.

"But at the same time, this shows readiness for a massive attack at any time," Gharibabadi wrote on his X account, today, quoted by Al Jazeera.

Gharibabadi assessed that Trump again played the role of a peace-loving threat. Keeping a peaceful diplomatic approach away from threats, he continued, will be repaid in kind.

"This means calling 'threats', by the name of 'opportunities for peace. Iran, united and resolute, is ready to face any military aggression!" he concluded.

On Monday, May 18, Trump claimed that Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and other countries asked him to delay a new military attack on Iran for two or three days.

Trump is facing a deal amid this delay.

"I have postponed it for a while, hopefully maybe forever, but maybe also for a while, because we have had very big discussions with Iran, and we will see the results," Trump said in his upload on the Truth Social platform.
