Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi blamed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for attempting to manipulate Washington into military conflict against Iran, characterizing him as a "serpent," Middle East Eye reported. The accusation came after the US conducted bombing operations on Larak Island that resulted in deaths and injuries among Iranian civilians.
Following the strikes, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared that Tehran would respond decisively to any subsequent attacks. The remarks underscore deepening friction between Iran and the United States, with Iranian officials pointing to Israeli actions as a driving force behind American military operations across the region. The cycle of escalation reflects broader tensions over US military involvement in Middle Eastern conflicts.
