Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of manipulating the United States into engaging in a war against Iran, branding Netanyahu as a "serpent." The accusation comes after Washington bombed Larak Island, killing and wounding Iranian civilians and soldiers, marking the U.S.'s first attack on Iran since July.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Tehran would respond decisively to any further attacks, emphasizing that instability and unrest in the region are harmful to all countries. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi warned foreigners to stay out of the region and cautioned Washington against repeating its aggressive actions.
The US military has expressed concerns about the strain on American forces due to ongoing large-scale operations against Iran, diverting personnel, ships, aircraft, and equipment from other regions.
