Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi on Friday accused Israel of waging an extensive influence campaign in the United States, alleging that it is attempting to draw Washington into "an unwinnable war of choice" while using American taxpayer money to suppress domestic critics.

In a post on X, Araghchi questioned US concerns over foreign influence, writing, "Americans are being warned of Foreign Influence. How about the extensive Israeli Campaign to bamboozle the U.S. Administration into an unwinnable war of choice?"

He further alleged that Israel was using US taxpayer funds "to silence any U.S. critics" and concluded his post by saying, "It will all soon unravel."

The Iranian minister's remarks were accompanied by a screenshot of a TIME magazine article titled, "Trump's Ex-Campaign Manager Is Running An Israeli Influence Operation Targeting the MAGA Base."
