Iran FM says US plan for rapid military victory failed

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the United States had failed to achieve a rapid military victory in the conflict, in a post on X addressed to US President Donald Trump.

“Plan A for a clean rapid military victory failed, Mr. President. Your Plan B will be even bigger failure,” Araghchi wrote.

Araghchi also said a potential diplomatic agreement had been lost after the conflict began, claiming negotiations had been making “significant progress” before the war and accusing what he called an “America Last” faction of derailing the talks.

“‘Israel First’ always means ‘America Last,’” he added.
