Iran Uses Trump’s Own Words Against Him
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran sees the U.S. as already participating in Israel’s attacks, and cited President Donald Trump‘s words.
The U.S. has not yet joined in with Israel’s strikes but is helping it to defend itself against Iran’s retaliatory missile and drone attacks.
Trump has given himself two weeks to decide if the U.S. should strike Iran, a window of time for Tehran to make a new nuclear deal.
Araghchi told Iranian state media that “we consider the Americans to be aligned with and cooperating with the Zionist regime.”
“In these attacks that have been carried out against Iran, there are multiple signs indicating cooperation between U.S. forces present in the region and the Zionist regime,” Araghchi said, originally in Farsi.
“But more importantly than all of that are the tweets and interviews given by that country’s president, where he explicitly uses the word ‘we’-saying we did this, we carried out that action, this must happen, that must happen.
“Well, that makes the case clear without needing further evidence. The presence and participation of the U.S. in this scene is evident.”
