Tehran: Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has issued a sharp response amid the ongoing military escalation, accusing Israel and the United States of launching what he called an unprovoked and illegal war against Iran.

In a message posted on social media, Araghchi said, “Netanyahu and Trump’s war on Iran is wholly unprovoked, illegal, and illegitimate.” He further alleged that US President Donald Trump had shifted from an “America First” approach to what he described as “Israel First,” adding, “which always means ‘America Last’.”

Warning of retaliation, Araghchi said, “Our Powerful Armed Forces are prepared for this day and will teach the aggressors the lesson they deserve.”

The Iranian minister also shared a screenshot of a 2012 tweet by Trump which read: “Now that Obama’s poll numbers are in tailspin – watch for him to launch a strike in Libya or Iran. He is desperate.”
