US involved in Israeli strikes, Iran will respond firmly, Pezeshkian says
The United States is directly complicit in Israel’s attacks on Iran, President Masoud Pezeshkian told a cabinet meeting Sunday and warned that continued aggression would be met with harsher retaliation.
"Israel could not act without American consent," he said, citing a reported exchange between a US official and Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi.
Pezeshkian added that Iran does not seek war but said "the armed forces — both the military and Revolutionary Guards — would respond with increasing force if attacks persist."
