Iran바카라™s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said that the United States betrayed diplomatic routes for a solution by attacking Iran.

바카라œWe were already engaged in diplomacy. We were in the midst of talks with the United States when the Israelis disrupted them,바카라 said Araghchi in a media briefing in Istanbul. 바카라œAgain, just two days ago in Geneva, we were in negotiations with the Europeans. This time, it was the Americans who decided to sabotage the process.바카라

To Meet Putin

During the press conference, Araghchi said 바카라œI am going to Moscow this afternoon to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and will have serious consultations.바카라

He further said that the Iranian armed forces are on full alert. When asked about closure of Hormuz Strait Mr. Araghchi said 바카라œA variety of options are available to Iran.바카라

No Room For Diplomacy

When asked whether there is still room for diplomacy after the US attack, Araghchi said 바카라œnot right now바카라.

바카라œThe door for diplomacy should always stay open, but this is not the case right now,바카라 he said in a media address in Istanbul. 바카라œMy country has been under attack, under aggression, and we have to respond based on our legitimate right to self defense.바카라

The US attack on Iran바카라™s nuclear facilities, he said, 바카라œis an unforgivable violation of international law바카라.

Appeal To International Community To Counter US Threats

In his address to the media in Istanbul, Araghchi said it is the responsibility of the 바카라œwhole international community바카라 to stop US threats against Iran, insisting the country바카라™s nuclear programme has remained entirely peaceful.

바카라œIran has done nothing wrong. We do not understand why Iran should be attacked for a false accusation that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons,바카라 he said, noting that it was the US that tore up the previous nuclear agreement and interrupted the latest round of talks with military strikes.

바카라œIt바카라™s up to the international community to condemn this, to prevent this,바카라 Araghchi added. 바카라œOtherwise, there will be nothing left of international law.바카라

He claimed the Iranian people are 바카라œunited and in solidarity with the government, and we stand firm against any aggression바카라.
