Araghchi: People are being killed because Trump wants to have fun

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi defended his country's attacks against Gulf states, arguing that these states have ceded their territory to US forces to attack Iran. He stated that Iran is targeting only US military bases and facilities and that people are being killed because President Trump wants to have fun. He denied that Iran has requested a ceasefire and stated that Tehran is ready to defend itself for as long as necessary. He accused Trump of choosing an illegal war with no winner and that his statements about lacking mercy constitute a war crime.
