U.S. involvement in the war could potentially prove "extremely risky," according to Araghtschi.
In the ongoing Iran-Israel conflict, there's no sign of de-escalation on the horizon. A direct warning has been issued by Iran's top diplomat to the U.S., stating that American intervention would be "regrettable" and "dangerous." This news was reported by the Arabic channel Al-Jazeera following the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) meeting in Istanbul, Turkey.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi believes the U.S. has been involved with the aggression against Iran from the start. Although the U.S. government says otherwise, Iran claims to have many indications suggesting Washington's involvement since the beginning of the war.
