Iranian FM Heads to Moscow for Urgent Talks with Putin
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is set to head to Russia today for urgent talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin after the US strikes, according to Sky News. Urgent Talks with Russia Araghchi announced that he will meet Putin and have 'serious consultations' in Moscow after the US launched airstrikes against significant Iranian nuclear sites. 'We always consult with each other and coordinate our positions,' Araghchi said. US Strikes on Iran Speaking after the OIC's Summit in Istanbul, the Iranian Foreign Minister condemned US attacks on Iran's nuclear facilities and labeled it as 'a violation of humanitarian law.' 'The United States showed that they have no respect to United Nations Charter. They have no respect to international law. They crossed a very big red line by attacking nuclear facilities,' he added. Betrayal Accusation Moreover, Araghchi accused Trump of not only betraying Iran by abusing its commitment to diplomacy but also deceiving his own voters by implementing to the wishes of a war criminal. 'He has betrayed not only Iran by abusing our commitment to diplomacy but also deceived his own voters by submitting to the wishes of a wanted war criminal who has grown accustomed to exploiting the lives and wealth of American citizens to further the Israeli regime's objectives,' he added. Netanyahu Drags Trump into War Araghchi added that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu 'dragged Trump into war with Iran.' The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that the US cannot escape the consequences of its airstrikes against Iran. IRGC also said that Iran would not fear Israel or the US, calling them 'criminal gangs ruling the White House and Tel Aviv'. A Call for Interational Condemnation On his part, Araghchi also underscored that Tehran did not commit any mistakes, and it is difficult to understand 'why we were attacked based on a false claim.' He also stressed that the international community must condemn the US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. Israel-Iran War On June 13, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Iran under the name of Operation Rising Lion. The military campaign targeted Iran's nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders and nuclear scientists. As a response, Iran launched a retaliatory wave of missiles against Israel and targeted Tel Aviv. Israel also killed three more Iranian nuclear scientists, bringing the total number of scientists slain to nine, Gulf News reported. Currently, both countries are trading missiles and attacks amid intensifying efforts to halt the conflict.
