“The U.S. has been involved in the aggression since day one,” stated Araghchi, speaking in Istanbul at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meeting.
The conference followed Israeli air attacks on Iranian military facilities aiming to dismantle its nuclear program, leading to a nine-day ballistic exchange. Trump has expressed support for Israel but has yet to decide on military intervention alongside the American ally.
Araghchi mentioned that Tehran is “absolutely ready for a negotiated solution for our nuclear program.”
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the “biggest obstacle to regional peace.”
“Netanyahu’s Zionist ambitions have no other purpose than to drag our region and … the whole world into a big disaster,” Erdoğan remarked at the conference.
Israel’s recent attacks targeted two centrifuge production sites, with additional strikes on similar sites in recent days, as the Associated Press reported, citing an Israeli military official. This marked the second attack on Isfahan, initially hit within the first 24 hours of the conflict, as part of Israel’s objective to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.
Meanwhile, the Israel Defense Force reported the killing of Saeed Izadi, a commander in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps involved with Palestinian militants. The IDF claimed Izadi was eliminated in Qom following a “prolonged intelligence-gathering effort.”
