Iranian Foreign Minister: Israel is working to drag America into a war in the region. This came in a press conference held by Abdullahian at Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut.

Abdullahian stressed that his country called on Washington to stop supporting Israel in its crimes against the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Since last October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, leaving 27,947 martyrs and 67,459 injured, most of them children and women.
