WANA (Jul 24) – Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi took a swipe at recent remarks by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, saying pro-Israel figures within the U.S. government are “burying their heads in the sand” instead of facing the realities on the ground.

 

In a post on X, Araghchi was responding to Rubio’s claim that U.S. policy is based on “head over heart.” He said those aligned with Israel have chosen to ignore developments on the ground and appear to be more concerned with the 2028 U.S. presidential election than with the consequences of their policies.

 

Araghchi also warned that what he described as the “reckless aggression” promoted by these individuals would have only one outcome. If the U.S. president is seeking a deal with Iran, he said, Washington will have to pay a much higher price to achieve it.
