“Hundreds of Iranian civilians have been killed in Israel-US bombings, including over 200 children,” Araqchi said in a post on his X account.

“Reports claim that some neighboring states which host US forces and permit attacks on Iran are also actively encouraging this slaughter,” he added.

“Stances should be promptly clarified,” the top Iranian diplomat underlined.

The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.

The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.

In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
