Araghchi rebukes Hegseth’s moral bankruptcy, ignorance of armed conflict law
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has lashed out at US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for threatening Iran with merciless strikes, saying the threats denote his moral bankruptcy and ignorance about the law of armed conflict.
“When the US Secretary of War declares ‘no quarter’, he doesn’t project strength. He conveys moral bankruptcy and ignorance about law of armed conflict,” Araghchi wrote in a post published on his X account late on Monday.
He added, “We advise him to review the Hague Convention and Rome Statute of the ICC, unless he aspires to join Netanyahu as war criminal.”
The United States and Israel launched a large-scale and unprovoked war against Iran on February 28 by assassinating former Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei and high-ranking military commanders despite indirect Tehran-Washington negotiations on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.
The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian installations across the country, causing significant casualties and widespread damage.
On the first day of the aggression, the US launched strikes against an elementary school in Minab, southern Hormozgan Province. The ruthless attack killed 165 people, mostly children.
Within the framework of their legitimate response, Iranian Armed Forces have carried out massive missile and drone attacks against US interests in the region and Israeli positions in the occupied territories.
