Abbas Araqchi, the Foreign Minister of Iran, criticised the United States over its military campaign, calling the operation an “Epic Mistake.” He accused Donald Trump of plotting strikes on Iran’s oil and nuclear facilities in an attempt to contain global inflation caused by surging oil prices. Araqchi said Tehran was fully prepared to respond to any escalation and warned Washington against further aggression. The remarks come as the conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel continues to intensify, with missile attacks and airstrikes reported across multiple locations in the Middle East.
