Pressed about whether Iran is receiving Russian support, Abbas Araghchi told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that “they are helping us in many different directions.”
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has rejected calls for a ceasefire in the Middle East, telling NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that his country needs “to continue fighting for the sake of our people.”
The U.S. and Israel “are killing our people, they are killing girl students, you know, they are attacking hospitals,” he told moderator Kristen Welker.
He said Israel and the U.S. had already shattered the ceasefire reached to end last year’s 12-day war, adding, “And now you want to ask for a ceasefire again? This doesn’t work like this.”
On Friday, four sources told NBC News that Russia was providing intelligence to Iran on the location of U.S. forces in the Middle East, including intelligence that could help Iran locate American warships.
For the sake of your people? You’ve already killed tens of thousands of them. They are the ones who want you gone!
Neither Israel, nor USA have less suffering and death in store for them. Not to mention that the bombing campaign will only strenghten support for the IR in the medium term.
False equivalence.
