### Iran’s Foreign Minister Condemns U.S. Airstrikes Amid Ongoing Diplomatic Tensions
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi criticized the United States for disrupting diplomatic negotiations by conducting airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. During a press briefing at the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) summit in Istanbul on June 22, 2025, he called on the global community to take a firm stand, stating that “international norms and diplomacy are under direct threat.”
“We were in the midst of negotiations; it wasn’t Iran that withdrew. The U.S. is abandoning diplomacy with weapons, not through dialogue,” Araghchi asserted. He added, “They have crossed a significant red line by targeting our nuclear sites.”
On Sunday, airstrikes hit several critical nuclear installations in Iran, with President Donald Trump dubbing the operation “a tremendous military achievement.” The U.S. military utilized B-2 Spirit stealth bombers to strike three key sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
Araghchi emphasized that the ramifications of this attack extend beyond mere bilateral relations. “This isn’t solely an issue for Iran; it challenges the credibility of international law. The very principles of the United Nations Charter are at stake,” he said. The foreign minister urged the UN Security Council to act decisively, calling for a formal condemnation of the aggression while reinforcing the principles of state sovereignty.
While underscoring Iran’s right to self-defense, Araghchi dismissed the notion that negotiations could continue under these circumstances. “You can’t bomb a negotiating partner and expect them to seek peace the very next day,” he stated.
Looking ahead, the foreign minister is set to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Monday to discuss these recent developments.
#### U.S. Defense Secretary Asserts No Desire for Regime Change
In a separate statement, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth clarified that Washington is not pursuing regime change in Tehran. He called on Iranian leaders to find a way to de-escalate tensions after Trump’s announcement of the strikes on essential uranium enrichment sites at Fordow, along with the facilities in Isfahan and Natanz.
“We have significantly hampered the Iranian nuclear program,” Hegseth said at a Pentagon briefing, asserting that the military actions were not aimed at Iranian troops or civilians. He continued, “President Trump is committed to peace, and Iran should embrace that path. This mission has never been about changing the regime.”
Trump’s intervention raises the potential for an escalation in conflict, particularly following Israel’s recent unprecedented strike against Iran, with Tehran pledging to retaliate if the U.S. escalates involvement.
