Iran's Foreign Minister Attributes Regional Conflict to US and Israel, Urges Pressure on Them

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the recent conflict in the Middle East was not Iran's choice but imposed by the United States and Israel. He emphasized that Iran's military units now operate independently under general instructions and urged Gulf countries to pressure Washington and Tel Aviv to end hostilities instead of demanding Iran cease its retaliatory strikes. Araghchi also noted ongoing communication with regional counterparts amid the escalating tensions.
