Iran's Araghchi blasts Jordanian counterpart

Iran's Araghchi blasts Jordanian counterpart Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has blasted his Jordanian counterpart for criticising Iran's retaliatory strikes on countries in the region. In an Arabic-language post on his X account on Friday, Araghchi responded to comments by Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, who claimed that Iran had attacked Jordan and other countries in the region only two hours after the start of the war on Iran, arguing that the Iranian attack therefore could not be considered a response. "How much time does the Jordanian foreign minister believe Iran should wait before responding to an aggressor that respects neither Arab sovereignty nor Iranian sovereignty?" Araghchi wrote. “And is he (Safadi) really unaware that Arab airspace, territory and waters were used in the initial US attacks that resulted in the killing of innocent Iranians?” the Iranian foreign minister added. كم من الوقت يرى وزير الخارجية الأردني أنه يتعين على إيران أن تنتظر قبل أن تردّ على معتدٍ لا يحترم سيادة العرب ولا سيادة إيران؟ وهل هو حقًا غير مدرك أن المجال الجوي والأراضي والمياه العربية استُخدمت في الهجمات الأمريكية الأولى التي أسفرت عن مقتل إيرانيين أبرياء؟ pic.twitter.com/joI7qMsMOS — Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) September 4, 2026
