Regarding the US Double Standard, Araghchi: Israel's Crimes are Justified, Iran's Defense is Kicked English: Regarding the US Double Standard, Araghchi: Israel's Crimes are Justified, Iran's Defense is Kicked

JAKARTA - Iranian Foreign Minister (Menlu) Abbas Araghchi emphasized that the United States (US) does not see the conflict in the Middle East objectively and not based on international law.

Araghchi said a fair and equal social system was ruled out by the US Government when addressing the situation in Gaza and the Strait of Hormuz.

"The US supports Israel's blockade of Gaza, cuts aid under the pretext of "security", but condemns Iran for defending itself in the Strait of Hormuz," Araghchi wrote on his X account, Thursday night, March 26.

He emphasized that the US government applies standards by condemning one conflict but tolerates other similar conflicts, as Israel often does.

"Double standards: Israeli crimes are considered normal while Iran's defense against the aggressor is condemned. International law is not an easy tool to use," Araghchi said.
