Tehran: Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to try to drag the United States to the “disaster” in the Middle East, warning against any attempt to attack Iran.
“Netanyahu is being entrusted directly into the United States government to drag it to another disaster in our region,” Araghchi said in X, warning against “any error against Iran.”
Araghchi also accused Netanyahu of “trying to blatantly dictate what President Trump can and cannot do in his diplomacy with Iran.”
“The world has also learned how Netanyahu is being entrusted directly within the United States government to drag it to another disaster in our region,” he added.
FM Araghchi says that ‘lethal support for the genocide of Israeli Prime Minister’ in Gaza and the war in Yemen has not achieved anything for Americans
Iran’s main diplomat summoned American support to Israel in his war in Gaza against the Palestinians in Gaza.
He also referred to the United States retaliation strikes against Yemen’s hutis, whose attacks have attacked the ally of Washington Israel and the sending of the Red Sea in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza.
“Lethal support for Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza and rid the war in Netyahu in Yemen has not achieved anything for the American people,” he said.
The comments occurred after the last round of nuclear conversations with the United States, which were destined for May 3, were delayed with the mediator Oman citing “logistics reasons.” The two countries have held three rounds since April 12, their contact with the highest level since Washington withdrew from a historical agreement with Tehran in 2018, during Donald Trump’s first mandate as president of the United States.
Netanyahu has asked to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program, saying that a credible agreement must “eliminate Iran’s ability to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons” and avoid the development of ballistic missiles.
On Sunday, Trump said he would only accept “the total dismantling” of Iran’s nuclear program, but also pointed out the opening to discuss one for civil use.
“Now, there is a new theory that comes out that Iran would be allowed to have civil (program), which means doing electricity,” News told NBC, and added that “he would be open to listen to” the argument.
Tehran has constantly denied that he was looking for atomic weapons, insisting that his atomic program is only for civil purposes.
Araghchi reiterated that if the goal was that Iran did not have a nuclear weapon, “an agreement can be reached and there is only one way to achieve it: diplomacy based on mutual respect and mutual interests.”
