Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi issued an unusual statement today (Wednesday) in which he referred to a report by Tamir Morag, Channel 14's political correspondent, according to which "foreign elements" are arming protesters in Iran with live weapons, while implying that the Mossad is arming Iranian protesters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Foreign Minister wrote: "Israel has always tried to drag the United States into wars in its name. But this time, surprisingly, they are no longer hiding - they are saying the silent part out loud.".<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Araqchi continued his remarks by referring to the report that, although there is no verification that the protesters have firearms, hundreds of deaths have been recorded so far among the Iranian security forces responsible for suppressing the protests. \"With blood on our streets, Israel boasts that it has protesters armed with live weapons \u2013 and that is the reason for the hundreds of deaths,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Araqchi sent a direct message to President Trump: "Now he should know exactly where to turn to stop the killing.". <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tamir Morag responded to the Iranian minister in a tweet on the X network: "Thank you, Foreign Minister Araqchi, for this tweet, which makes it clear to President Trump how stupid and vulnerable you believe he is to transparent manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will not be able to divert attention from the bloodbath that you and your fellow terrorists are causing to your people. The blood of tens of thousands of Iranians is on your hands, and you will soon be held accountable. The cranes from which you hang your citizens will soon hang your bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I'm glad, however, that you attribute such high credibility to Channel 14, but let me correct you: unlike the tyrannical regime you lead, Israel has a free press, and its reports do not represent the government - including those of Channel 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
"And one more thing, Mr. Foreign Minister: Just moments before the end of your term, remember that not only the Israelis hate you, but almost everyone: the Kurds, the Baluchis, the Ahwazis, the Azeris - they all want to see you disappear and arm the very people you are slaughtering.".<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi issued an unusual statement today (Wednesday) in which he addressed a report by Channel 14 political correspondent Tamir Morag that "foreign elements" are arming protesters in Iran with live ammunition, while implying that the Mossad is arming Iranian protesters.
