Araghchi says US military bases 'legitimate targets for Iran'

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has defended Iran's strikes across Gulf states, saying that, while their forces "don't seek to regionalise the war", "it will become regional" due to US military bases in the area being "legitimate targets for Iran". Speaking to Iran's State TV, Araghchi warned that Iran would continue to defend itself "by any means necessary" and urged regional leaders to question the US about their war objectives. "Instead of pressuring the Islamic Republic of Iran to explain why it is attacking US targets on their soil, they should pressure the Americans to explain why they initiated and waged this unjust, illegal war without cause, dragging the region into this situation," he said.
