Accusations of Betrayal and ‘Dangerous War’

Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Mofa) has accused the US of initiating a “dangerous war” against Iran by attacking nuclear facilities, according to a statement shared by Iranian news agency, Tasnim. The ministry condemned the attacks as violations of both the Un charter and international law, holding the Us goverment fully responsible for the serious consequences.

The statement from Mofa reads, “The world must not forget that the United States, in the midst of diplomatic processes, betrayed diplomatic,” the ministry stated, while describing Israel as a “genocide and violating the law.”

Mofa also warned of Iran’s “legitimate right to fully and firmly against Us military aggression and crimes committed by this evil regime and to defend Iran’s national security and interests with all the necessary means.” The Iranian government has called upon the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency (Iaea) to address these “striking and criminal illegal actions.”

Attack to Nuclear Facilities Unforgivable

Foreign Minister Araghchi considers the Us attack unforgivable. Araghchi said President Trump betrayed his own diplomacy and election in the Us.

“This is a violation that is outrageous, serious, and has never happened before the basic principles of the United Nations and International Law Charter,” Abbas Araghchi said in his speech in Istanbul at the Oki peak meeting.

Araghchi stated that the Us government that “likes to fight and violate the law” will be fully responsible for the dangerous consequences and to achieve effective implications of his aggression.

“Us military attacks on territorial integrity and national sovereignty of Un member states carried out in conspiracy with the regime (Israel) who committed genocide, have once again revealed the extent to which the United States hostility towards Iranian people seek peace,” he added.

When asked if there was still room for diplomacy after Us attacks,Araghchi said “not now”.

“The door to diplomacy must always be open, but now it is not the case,” said Iran’s Foreign Minister.”My country has been attacked, under aggression, and we must respond based on our legitimate right to defend ourselves.”

us attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, he said, “is an unforgivable violation of international law”.Araghchi said Trump had betrayed not only Iran but also his own supporters as a result of Us attacks.

Addressing the possibility of returning to negotiations, Araghchi stated it was “irrelevant” to ask Iran to return to diplomacy, emphasizing that Iran was already engaged in talks when the attacks occurred. he criticizes the Us for betraying these negotiations.

“So it is not Iran,but the Us is betraying diplomacy. They betray the negotiations,” he said.

“I think they have proven that they are not people who are good at diplomating, and they only understand the language of threats and violence. And this is very unfortunate.”

Araghchi said that it was the duty of “the whole international community” to stop Us threats to Iran, stressed that the nuclear program of his country remained fully peaceful.

“Iran did not make any mistakes. We did not understand why Iran had to be attacked because of fake accusations that Iran was looking for nuclear weapons,” he said, noting that the us destroyed the previous nuclear agreement and disrupted the last round of the conversation with military attacks.

“The international community must condemn and prevent this,” Araghchi added. “If not, there will be no more international law left. He added that the Iranian people “united and solidarily with the government, and we stood firmly against all forms of aggression.”
