U.S., Israel crossed ‘big red line’, says Iran Foreign Minister Araghchi as he heads to Moscow
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has strongly condemned the US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities, declaring them a violation of international law and a crossing of Iran's "final red line."
Speaking at a press conference in Istanbul, Araghchi said that Iran reserves the right to retaliate in self-defence and warned that the US will be held responsible for the consequences.
He criticized Washington for launching attacks during ongoing diplomatic efforts, saying, “Diplomacy should always remain open, but the US chose aggression in the middle of talks.”
Araghchi called on the international community to prevent further escalation, urging the UN Security Council to convene an emergency session.
Araghchi announced plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, calling Russia a “trusted friend” and requesting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to investigate the U.S. attacks.
He accused President Trump of betraying both Iran and the American people by launching the strike and said the assault on peaceful nuclear sites was "unforgivable." Araghchi also condemned Israel’s role, describing it as a genocidal regime with malicious intent.
Iran, he emphasized, would not compromise on its sovereignty, national interests, or independence, and retains all options to respond. “It is clear now,” he said, “that the U.S. and Israel only understand the language of force.”
Araghchi further stated that Iran is still assessing the damage caused by the strikes and demanded that the United Nations and the IAEA hold the US accountable for its "criminal act."
