Highlighting the escalating conflict, Khatibzadeh urged that the United States must make a choice: &quot;between war and ceasefire &#8211; you cannot have it both at the same time.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Khatibzadeh criticized the U.S. for advocating for a ceasefire while allowing for continuous aggression from its ally, Israel. &quot;You cannot ask for a ceasefire and then set conditions that directly target Lebanon,&quot; he stated, emphasizing the importance of upholding peace amidst violence.<\/p>\n<p>When questioned about Iran&#8217;s influence over Hezbollah, Khatibzadeh maintained that Hezbollah is a &quot;pure Lebanese freedom movement,&quot; while acknowledging that Iranian Revolutionary Guard officers assist in training and arming them. This complex relationship reflects broader geopolitical tensions and the multifaceted nature of regional conflicts.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the turmoil, Khatibzadeh asserted Iran&#8217;s commitment to diplomatic agreements, declaring the country&#8217;s focus on reaching a conclusive deal with the U.S. He reiterated Iran\u2019s determination to ensure safe passage in the Strait of Hormuz, stressing the need for a new protocol that aligns with international norms. &quot;Energy security is vital for Iran and the Persian Gulf,&quot; he affirmed.<\/p>\n<p>However, Khatibzadeh expressed skepticism regarding the U.S.&#8217;s intentions, voicing concerns that Washington may merely be prolonging diplomatic discussions before returning to military action. &quot;We have many doubts about reaching a final peace agreement,&quot; he said, indicating a cautious approach to diplomacy.<\/p>\n<p>As the region remains on edge, the situation poignantly reflects biblical principles of peacemaking and conflict resolution. Jesus taught in Matthew 5:9, &quot;Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.&quot; This call to strive for peace amidst chaos is a timeless reminder of the importance of dialogue and understanding in navigating conflict.<\/p>\n<p>In the face of rising tensions and uncertainty, we are invited to reflect on the broader spiritual lesson: that true peace requires effort, sacrifice, and a commitment to dialogue. As individuals and communities, let us seek ways to be active peacemakers in our own lives, fostering understanding and compassion in a world that so desperately needs it.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a
