🚨 Breaking News : Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi Admits: “We Cannot Hit Targets in the United States” – Vows Retaliation Will Focus on American Bases in the Region

In a direct and revealing interview amid the ongoing US-Israel military campaign against Iran, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has openly acknowledged Iran’s operational limitations while clearly outlining Tehran’s response strategy.

Exact quote from Araghchi (speaking to Al Jazeera):

“Of course we cannot hit any target in the territory of the US so we have to deal with their bases in the region and the facilities or installations they use in countries in the region.”

He added: 
“We are not attacking our brothers in the Persian Gulf, we are not attacking our neighbours, but we are attacking American targets.”

The statement comes as Iran continues retaliatory actions following deadly US and Israeli strikes, including the reported unaliving of Supreme Leader ∆yatollah ∆li Kh∆menei.
