US 'fully responsible' for consequences of its strikes on Iran, says Iran's top diplomat

Dubai, June 22: Iran's foreign minister said on Sunday that Washington is “fully responsible” for what actions the Islamic Republic takes next in retaliation against the US strikes on its various nuclear sites.

“The warmongering, a lawless administration in Washington is solely and fully responsible for the dangerous consequences and far reaching implications of its act of aggression,” Abbas Araghchi said in a news briefing at a conference in Turkiye.

These were the first public statements from a high-ranking Iranian official since the US carried out its strikes.
