Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has described the ongoing war launched by the United States and Israel against Iran as a failure, according to a report by Al Jazeera. Speaking on March 10, 2026, Araghchi said that the initial plan of the two countries had failed and that their subsequent strategies were also collapsing. He claimed that the US and Israel lacked any clear objectives or end goals in the conflict, which he said had led them to attack residential areas indiscriminately.

Araghchi further alleged that strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure had caused global oil prices to soar. He stated that after ten days of fighting, the opposing forces appeared to have lost direction entirely. The Iranian minister emphasized that he saw no logical purpose behind their actions, asserting that the war had turned into a purposeless campaign.

The comments reflect Iran’s official stance that the conflict has backfired on its adversaries, with no tangible achievements for the US or Israel so far.
