In a post on X, Araghchi questioned repeated warnings about foreign influence in the United States while alleging that Israel was actively shaping American decision-making. He claimed Israel was seeking to draw the US administration into another war despite the potential consequences. The Iranian minister did not provide evidence to support the allegations.

Furthermore, the Iranian foreign minister alleged that Israel was using American taxpayers’ money to silence its critics inside the United States.
