Iranian Foreign Minister attributes regional instability to Israel and the US

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the prospect of negotiating with the United States is no longer on the agenda, citing repeated U.S. attacks during diplomatic talks as a major reason for this stance. He emphasized that Iran’s actions are defensive in nature in response to what he described as illegal aggression from the U.S. and Israel, warning that any U.S. attack could escalate into a broader regional conflict. Araghchi also dismissed claims that Iran is intentionally threatening oil shipping routes.
