US Senator Marco Rubio stated that Israel is planning preemptive strikes against Iran and that the actions of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are provoking US strikes. These statements came in response to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's remarks that the US is "entering a war in favor of Israel."
Redaksiya reports that Senator Rubio's statements have come into focus at a time of rising tensions in the region. He claimed that Israel is preparing for military operations against Iran to ensure its own security, but that the steps taken by the IDF are also drawing the US into this conflict.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, responding to Senator Rubio's claims, emphasized that the US is acting in Israel's interests. According to him, Washington's actions are aimed at protecting Israel's security and are contrary to international law. Araghchi warned that US intervention in this conflict could lead to a larger war in the region.
