Iran says US has ‘no authority’ to dictate its foreign policy
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that Washington has “no authority” to dictate its foreign policy after US President Donald Trump urged Tehran to end support for Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
“The United States Government has no authority, or business, dictating Iranian foreign policy,” Araghchi says in a post on X, while urging the US to stop the “killing of Yemeni people.”
The US launched large-scale military strikes against Yemen’s Houthis on Saturday over the group’s attacks against Red Sea shipping.
The Iran-backed group said early Sunday that at least 24 people had been killed so far, at the start of a campaign expected to last many days.
