Iran’s foreign minister has denied that Iran has targeted civilian or residential areas in the Middle East and said Tehran is ready to form a committee with its neighbours to investigate the responsibility for such strikes, Reuters reports.

Abbas Araghchi’s Telegram channel quoted him as saying in an interview with Al-Araby al-Jadeed that Tehran was in communication with various Gulf capitals and would welcome any initiative that could guarantee a complete end to the US-Israeli war on Iran.
