Iran will prevail 'over the logic of brute force,' Iranian official says
https://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/live-blog/live-updates-iran-war-trump-deadline-hormuz-infrastructure-ceasefire-rcna2670396m ago / 12:11 PM EDT
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said his country "will undoubtedly prevail" ahead of President Donald Trump's 8 p.m. deadline.
"The power of a 'CIVILIZED' nation's culture, logic, and faith in its righteous cause will undoubtedly prevail over the logic of brute force," Baqaei wrote on X, appearing to reference Trump's threat that "a whole civilization will die tonight."
With the hashtag #IranWillWin, Baqaei wrote: "A nation that has every faith in the righteousness of its path shall harness all its capacities and capabilities to safeguard its rights and legitimate interests."
