⭕️ Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi speaking from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Istanbul:

– “The main focus of the meeting will be to discuss Israel’s unlawful attacks on Iran, and we hope a strong and unified statement will be issued to condemn this aggression.”

– “[We are] exercising our legitimate right for self-defense against the act of aggression, which is done against us unprovoked and in a very brutal way.”

– "As everybody knows, we were in the middle of negotiations with the US, and we were supposed to meet for the sixth round on 15th June, then all of a sudden Israelis decided to attack us on the 13th, only two days before the negotiations. It is obvious that they are against diplomacy, it is obvious that they don't want a peaceful settlement of this issue.”

– “We are absolutely ready for a negotiated solution for our nuclear program, as we did in 2015. You know, we had a deal with the P5+1 at that time. That was the result of negotiation, two years of negotiation. And then when we concluded the deal, the whole world celebrated. So it means that diplomacy can work. It worked in the past, and it can work in the future.”

– “But in order for us to come back to diplomacy, the aggression should be stopped. It is obvious I cannot go to negotiation with the US when our people are under bombardment, under the support of the US. We have come, unfortunately, to the conclusion that the US has been in this aggression from the beginning. You know, they deny, they keep saying that they are not involving. But we have many indications that they have been involved from day one.”

– “Unfortunately we have heard that the US may join this aggression, that would be very unfortunate and I think that would be very, very dangerous for everybody.”

🚨 BREAKING: Donald Trump claims that US warplanes carried out airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.

🚨 Explosions were heard in the Iranian cities Isfahan, Kashan, and Qom, with no casualties initially reported.

Iranian air defenses shot down IOF drones over the cities of Tabriz, northwest Iran, and Qom, south of the capital Tehran.

"Donald Trump's decision to launch direct military action against Iran without congressional approval is a clear violation of the constitution..."
