Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has blamed the United States and Israel for causing instability in the region. He made the remarks during a meeting in Tehran with South Korea’s special envoy Chang Byung-ha. According to Iran’s government, Araghchi said that insecurity in the Gulf region and the Strait of Hormuz stems from what he called the aggression of the United States and Israel.

In a social media post, the Iranian government stated that Araghchi presented details of alleged crimes committed by the United States and Israel during wartime against Iran. He urged countries to take a clear and firm stance in condemning the attacks on Iran. Quoting Araghchi, the post added that as a coastal state, Iran has acted under international law to protect its security and interests, and that the consequences of these actions rest with the aggressors.

The report, citing Al Jazeera, highlights Iran’s continued criticism of US and Israeli policies in the Gulf and its call for international support against perceived aggression.
