Araqchi: Responsibility for an attack on Iran by Israel lies with the United States
Minutes after Abbas Araqchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, announced that a letter had been sent to the UN Secretary-General and Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, calling for effective action by the international community to prevent any Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities, CNN published parts of this letter.
According to this American television network, Araqchi stated in his letter to Antonio Guterres that in the event of any Israeli attack on the nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic, the United States government will bear legal responsibility.
This letter was sent to Antonio Guterres and Rafael Grossi following the publication of two reports by CNN and Axios regarding Israel’s readiness for an imminent attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities if nuclear negotiations fail.
