Tehran: Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that the American people should not be responsible for financing wars initiated by Israel, while also emphasizing Iran's recent attacks on US military facilities in the region. "The American people deserve better than footing the bill for Israel's wars," Araghchi expressed in a post on X on Friday.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Araghchi's comments came in response to earlier statements by US Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao, who acknowledged the damage caused by Iran to US military facilities in Bahrain. Araghchi commended the US official for his openness. "Our powerful Armed Forces did indeed 'blow the hell out of the 5th Fleet HQ in Bahrain,' as well as other bases supporting US aggression," he stated.
