Iran Accuses Netanyahu of Meddling in US Policy on Iran

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of attempting to manipulate U.S. policy to draw Washington into a broader conflict in the Middle East. Araghchi warned against any attack on Iran, criticizing both U.S. support for Israel's military actions in Gaza and American strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen, describing these as achieving nothing for the American people. He further claimed Netanyahu is trying to dictate President Trump's approach toward Iran, particularly regarding nuclear negotiations. The Iranian official argued that diplomacy, not confrontation, is the only viable path to ensure Iran does not develop nuclear weapons, and asserted that a deal could be reached based on mutual respect and shared interests. These remarks come amid delayed nuclear talks between Iran and the U.S., and heightened tensions following recent attacks near Israel. Netanyahu, meanwhile, has insisted that any credible deal must completely dismantle Iran's nuclear capabilities.
