Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi condemned U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent comments labeling Iran as the “most destructive force” in West Asia. Speaking at a Saudi-U.S. investment forum, Trump attributed regional instability to Iran, prompting Araqchi to call his remarks “sheer deception.” He argued that Trump’s narrative ignores the violence perpetrated by Israel, which has led to significant casualties in Gaza and other regions. Araqchi accused the U.S. of attempting to shift focus from the real threats while asserting that Iran is committed to independence and progress, contrasting it with the U.S.’s sanctions and military threats against Iran.
