Blame Israel's henchmen in Washington for triggering the war, Iran ensures it will not harm US civilians

JAKARTA - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has confirmed that Iran's retaliatory attacks will not target public facilities and US civilians.

According to him, US citizens actually hope that the massive US-Israeli joint attack on Iran since February 28 will be stopped so that it will not take human lives.

"Iran does not want to endanger ordinary Americans, most of whom are in favor of ending involvement in costly foreign wars," Araghchi said on his X account, Tuesday, March 10.

Iran does not want to harm ordinary Americans who overwhelmingly voted to end involvement in costly foreign wars.

He added that Iran understands that an escalation of the conflict in the Middle East could disrupt the stability of energy supply and financial systems, which directly shake market conditions and threaten a decline in investment value.

Araghchi also blamed Washington for provoking Israel to start a war by attacking Iran first.

"The blame for soaring gas prices, skyrocketing mortgages, and the collapse of 401(k) retirement funds lies entirely with Israel and its stooges in Washington," he said.
