Israel has a 'parasitic' relationship with US, Iran FM says citing $11bn spent on Tel Aviv's defence
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Israel shares a “parasitic” relationship with the United States, citing the latter’s defence support to Tel Aviv.
In a post on X, Araghchi said, “The US has over the past three years spent $11 billion in taxpayer money on missile defence for Israel. It has fired more interceptors defending Israel than Israel has.”
He added, “That is not a symbiotic relationship. It is a parasitic one.”
