As for the U.S., Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi asserted this morning that Tehran has hard evidence that the American forces have been supporting the Israeli regime’s military attacks against Iran, reports Tasnim. In a meeting with the foreign ambassadors to Tehran on June 15, Araghchi reaffirmed Iran’s right to self-defense and to give a retaliatory response to the Israeli regime, which has been attacking Iran’s nuclear, military and civilian areas since June 13. He stressed that Israel’s regime would have been unable to take the act of aggression singlehandedly without U.S. support.

Iran has been carefully monitoring the situation and has overwhelming evidence that the American forces have been backing the Israeli attacks, Araghchi stated. What is more important than the evidence is U.S. President Donald Trump’s explicit support for Israel, the foreign minister said, adding, “The U.S. is complicit in the Israeli strikes and must be held accountable.”

The U.S. must announce its clear stances and condemn the Israeli attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Araghchi added, saying Tehran expects Washington to step away.
