Abbas Araghchi accuses Israel of seeking permanent war after Ben Gvir said "all Lebanon must burn" following deaths of four Israeli soldiers.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi accused Israel on Friday of wanting “permanent war" following remarks from its far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir saying “all Lebanon must burn" after four Israeli soldiers were killed there.

“This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It’s a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime. The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war," Araghchi said on X.
