Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran has evidence of Washington’s direct support for the zionist war.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on 15 June that Iran will not end its strikes against the zionist colony until the US-backed Israeli war against the country is halted.

“We are defending ourselves; our defense is entirely legitimate,” the foreign minister said.

“This defense is our response to aggression. If the aggression stops, naturally our responses will also stop,” he added.

Araghchi condemned the Israeli attack on Iran’s offshore South Pars gas field on Saturday night, warning that “dragging the conflict to the Persian Gulf is a strategic mistake, and its aim is to drag the war beyond Iranian territory.”

“Israel’s attack would never have happened without the green light and support,” he affirmed, stressing that Iran does not believe US statements claiming Washington is not involved in the Israeli war. “It is necessary for the US to condemn Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities if they want to prove their goodwill.”

Araghchi also said Iran “has hard evidence that American forces have been supporting the Israeli regime.”

According to a 14 June report by Middle East Eye (MEE), the US covertly delivered about 300 Hellfire missiles to Israel before it declared war on Iran.

Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that US President Donald Trump was pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public, while approving in private. “We had a clear US green light,” one official claimed.

Axios wrote that the “goal was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel’s target list wouldn’t move to new locations.”

“Two months ago, I gave Iran a 60-day ultimatum to ‘make a deal.’ They should have done it! Today is day 61,” Trump said on 13 June.
