Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is seeking to drag the United States into another war with Iran to avoid imprisonment, while warning Washington against renewed military action.
“Netanyahu is driving America into another war to stay out of jail,” Araghchi wrote on the US social media platform X late on Sunday, saying the Israeli leader was disregarding the consequences for Israel and US President Donald Trump.
“Last time you wanted to ‘finish the job,’ Iran emerged even stronger. Want to try your luck again? Be our guest. But be careful; we have unfinished jobs too,” he added.
Under the shadow of trial
Netanyahu has led the current government since late 2022, described as Israel’s most right-wing government in history.
