A top official in Iran has accused the United States of playing a role in Saturday’s Israeli strikes on Iran, Anadolu reports.

“The Americans clearly participated in the attack,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a televised interview.

“The Americans provided an air corridor for the Zionist (Israeli) air force and the defensive equipment they sent to them is considered a form of involvement in the recent operations,” he added, saying that US participation is “completely clear”.

On the international backlash to Israel’s attack, he said: “The level of global condemnation for this aggressive act by the Zionist entity was very high.”
