Tehran says US entered war due to Israeli ‘miscalculation’, Iran’s FM spokesperson

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ismail Baghaei says the US was drawn into the conflict due to a miscalculation and provocation by Israel, Iran’s IRNA news agency is reporting, citing an interview with Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper.

“No one in the world can trust American diplomacy anymore. They use diplomacy and negotiations only as a prelude to imposing their demands or using force,” he said.

He also claimed that Iran’s new leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is in perfect health and that he had not appeared in public due to the ongoing war.

Baghaei said the Iranian public is not ready to talk about negotiations or diplomacy with the US, which used previous negotiations as a prelude to imposing its demands and using force.

He said the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh Girls’ School in Minab, which killed at least 170 people, is just one example of the atrocities the US has committed in the past month.
