Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has accused former US President Donald Trump of "betraying diplomacy" by authorizing military strikes on Iranian cities during ongoing nuclear negotiations this week. The remarks, posted on social media platform X, come after joint US-Israeli operations targeted Tehran and other areas starting Saturday.
🔥 Araghchi criticized Trump’s approach, comparing nuclear talks to a "real estate transaction" and claiming the strikes reflect a failure to engage in good-faith diplomacy. "When big lies cloud realities, unrealistic expectations can never be met," he wrote, adding that Trump’s actions harmed both global stability and Americans who supported him.
💣 Iranian officials also warned European Union members against backing the strikes, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stating that EU nations risk "being placed on the wrong side of history" if they appear complicit in what Iran calls "war crimes."
🌐 The escalation highlights rising tensions in the Middle East as 2026 unfolds, with diplomacy under strain and global observers questioning the long-term impact of recent military actions.
