TEHRAN, Iran — Iran accuses Israel of throwing the Middle East into a “dangerous cycle of violence” as it carried out a second day of airstrikes on nuclear and military targets in the Islamic Republic.
“This aggression pushes the region into a dangerous cycle of violence,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says during a call with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, according to a statement from his ministry. “Iran has responded and will respond in a firm manner to the barbaric actions of the Zionist regime.”
