Iran: Israeli Attack on Asaluyeh Extends Conflict to the Gulf
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Sunday that Tehran's response to Israel is based on the principle of self-defense. Araghchi warned that Israel’s attack on the city of Asaluyeh extends the conflict into the Gulf region. He asserted that the Israeli assault would not have occurred without a green light and support from the United States. The Iranian foreign minister stressed that Tehran does not seek to expand the scope of the war unless it is forced to do so. He explained that the planned round of nuclear talks with the United States could have paved the way for an agreement, but Israel opposed this, aiming to derail the negotiations. He expressed regret over Washington's involvement in the attacks. He added: "The U.S. should condemn Israel’s bombing of our nuclear facilities." — (Reuters) Read More One Killed, One Injured in Israeli Airstrike on Southern Lebanon Israeli Video Documents Al-Qassam's Complex Ambush in Beit Hanoun Martyrs and Injuries as Israeli Airstrikes Target Multiple Areas in Gaza
