Iranian foreign minister accuses Netanyahu of duping Trump into 'mother of forever wars'
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Monday accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of starting a war against Iran in order "to scuttle a DEAL between Iran and the US. In a post on X, Araghchi said Netanyahu was "a con man who has duped successive US Presidents into fighting his own wars for almost three decades. By all indications, the purpose of Netanyahu's criminal attack on Iran - killing hundreds of innocent civilians, including women and children - is to scuttle a DEAL between Iran and the US, which we were on the right path to achieve. Araghchi also accused Netanyahu of "playing" President Donald Trump and American taxpayers "for absolute fools". He said if Trump was serious about diplomacy, it would take "one phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu". He also warned that an absence of a negotiated solution would have untold consequences for regional security and the global economy and get the US "mired in the Mother of Forever Wars". "Let us not forget: Iran did NOT begin this war and has no interest in perpetuating bloodshed. But we will proudly fight to the last drop of blood to protect our land, our people, our dignity and our achievements," he added. Israel conducted unprovoked military strikes on Iran in the early hours of Friday morning, leading to hundreds of deaths and the bombing of multiple sites in Iran, with Iran then responding with retaliatory attacks on Israel. In the wave of mutual attacks, Israel has killed at least 224 civilians in Iran since the onset of the conflict. Iran has killed at least 24 people in its attacks on Israel.
