In a post on his X account, Araqchi lashed out at Benjamin Netanyahu for pushing the US into another war to avoid imprisonment.

“Last time you wanted to ‘finish the job’, Iran emerged even stronger. Want to try your luck again? Be our guest. But be careful; we have unfinished jobs too,” the Iranian foreign minister wrote.

“Netanyahu is driving America into another war to stay out of jail, whatever the consequences for Israel—let alone POTUS,” he added.

His post came after US President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Netanyahu for re-election, praising him as a “Great Warrior Prime Minister” and a “Partner for Peace” in confronting Iran.

Trump also threatened further military and economic pressure on Tehran, claiming Iran had been severely weakened and warning that Washington would “soon finish the job” unless Iran changed its policies.
