Araghchi said the US president has been misled regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

“It is more than clear by now that POTUS has been badly fed the fake line that Iran’s peaceful nuclear program was on the verge of weaponization this spring,” the foreign minister said. “That is simply a big lie and he should have been informed that there is zero proof of that, as confirmed by his own intelligence community.”
Araghchi also called Israel “the real bully of the Middle East”, and that it “has long been bullying and milking the United States”.

In June, the US joined the Zionist entity in striking Iranian nuclear facilities after five rounds of indirect nuclear talks with Tehran.
