Iran foreign ministry spokesman BAGHAEI said the US and Israel have struck Iran twice in under nine months while negotiations were ongoing, citing killings in Minab and Ramehld, the targeted assassination of Iranian leaders, and stepped-up sanctions on the Iranian people. He said those actions breached the June 17 memorandum of understanding, are fueling regional instability and global economic disruption, and accused Trump of launching conflicts then portraying himself as the victim.
