Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi claimed on the 27th (local time) that the United States colluded with Israel’s bombing of its military facilities.
“The United States’ cooperation in Israel’s operations is very clear to us,” Minister Arakchi said through the state-run IRNA news agency on this day. “They at least provided airspace passage.” “Defense equipment supplied to Israel in the past is also considered complicity in this operation in some way,” he said.
He went on to say that he sees the United States as colluding not only in the airstrikes, but also in all of Israel’s operations in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, Palestine, and asserted that Israel has no power in the Middle East without the United States.
On the 19th, a week before Israel’s latest airstrike, he targeted the United States and said, “Anyone who has knowledge or understanding of when and how Israel will attack Iran, or who provides the means and supports such foolish actions, is responsible for the logically possible causal relationship.” “You have to bear the burden,” he warned.
Minister Arakchi called on the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting to condemn Israel’s airstrikes on the country, but told IRNA that, considering the influence of the United States and other Western countries, the UN Security Council should ease tensions in the region or take action against Israel’s actions. He said there was little hope that it would be prevented. The UN Security Council decided to hold an emergency meeting on the 28th.
Minister Arakchi virtually confirmed the observation that he had received word from Israel before the airstrike, saying to reporters that evening, “We received signals about a nighttime airstrike that evening.”
American media outlet Axios previously reported that Israel had informed Iran of the target of the attack in advance through several third parties, including Dutch Foreign Minister Kaspar Feldkamp, and warned it not to respond. Arakchi said the necessary measures were taken when the attack occurred and that he was in contact with military officials and “messages were also exchanged with other parties.”
Previously, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) issued a statement in the early morning of the 26th, announcing that it had carried out three precision strikes on Iranian military facilities. It was retaliation for Iran’s launch of about 200 ballistic missiles into Israel on the 1st in retaliation for the killing of the leaders of Hamas and Hezbollah. It is reported that the IDF mobilized more than 100 drones and fighter jets to strike about 20 military facilities in Iran. The Iranian military announced that four of its soldiers were killed in this Israeli airstrike.
