Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sent a blunt message to the White House on Tuesday evening, warning that Iran has “no qualms” about hitting back with full force if a nation strikes Iran over its crackdown on protesters.
Araghchi’s comments come as the latest escalation in a push-and-pull of rhetoric between the Iranian regime and the Trump administration over Tehran’s brutal crackdown on protesters that has reportedly killed tens of thousands of Iranians. As the United States sends an aircraft carrier to the Middle East as tensions escalate, Araghchi wrote an opinion editorial saying that the “final failure of diplomacy” looms over the situation.
