Iran’s FM: Rubio admitted US ‘entered a war of choice on behalf of Israel,’ blood is ‘on Israel Firsters’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s foreign minister reacts to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remark that Washington attacked Iran over the weekend because it received intelligence that its assets in the region would be targeted in response to an Israeli attack.
“Mr. Rubio admitted what we all knew: US has entered a war of choice on behalf of Israel. There was never any so-called Iranian ‘threat,'” Abbas Araghchi posts on X.
“Shedding of both American and Iranian blood is thus on Israel Firsters,” he claims. “American people deserve better and should take back their country.”
