According to Iranian media Fars News, Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi stated, "The nuclear issue is merely a pretext. What the Americans truly oppose and cannot accept is the ideology of Iran's political system and the mindset of the Iranian people. The United States completely rejects Iranian ideology because it emphasizes opposition to American hegemony and refusal to submit to American power. It is precisely this ideology that has fostered the formation and rise of resistance forces in our region. We reached an agreement with the international community on the nuclear issue, and the entire world welcomed this agreement. However, the United States withdrew from the agreement without providing any evidence and abandoned it. The same thing was later repeated in Islamabad."
