Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, responding to comments by US President Joe Biden, says anyone who knows “how and when Israel will attack Iran” should be held accountable.
Araqchi writes on X: “Anybody with knowledge or understanding of ‘how and when Israel was going to attack Iran’, and/or providing the means and backing for such folly, should logically be held accountable for any possible causality.”
Speaking to reporters at the end of a visit to Berlin yesterday Biden said he had an understanding of how and when Israel was going to respond to Iran’s most ballistic missile attack.
Pressed by reporters during a visit to Germany, Biden declined to share any details regarding Israel’s planned response to the October 1 missile attack, though his remarks appeared to mark the first time the US indicated it has reached an understanding with Israel on the nature of the retaliation.
