News - Middle East: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has failed to achieve any of his objectives in almost a year of its genocidal war in Gaza and is now trying to escalate tensions across the entire region.

“Almost a year into his genocide, Netanyahu has achieved none of his aims, desperate to drag the region into war,” Araghchi said in a post on his X account on Saturday.

Araghchi also attached a picture of 12 members of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, who were killed in an Israeli air attack in Beirut’s southern suburbs on Friday, and said Hezbollah proudly honors the sacrifices of its martyrs.

“While the Israeli regime hides its losses, Hezbollah honors martyrs by showing their sacrifices for us all—inspiring countless more to dedicate themselves to their noble goals,” the top Iranian diplomat pointed out.
