Araghchi to Trump: Plan A of military victory failed, Plan B will be 'bigger failure'
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned US President Donald Trump that his Plan B of interference in the Islamic Republic's internal matters will fail like his Plan A of military aggression.
In a post on X on Thursday, Araghchi said Plan A of "a clean, rapid military victory failed," and Plan B will be an even "bigger failure."
"The truth: Chance for a unique deal burned after the 'America Last' cabal obscured the 'significant progress' we made in negotiations," he wrote.
"'Israel First' always means 'America Last'."
His remarks came after the US president said he must be personally involved in the process of selecting a new leader in Iran, as he did in Venezuela.
The US and its proxy regime in Tel Aviv launched an unprovoked and illegal aggression on Iran on Saturday, targeting the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, and some top-ranking military commanders.

In response, Iranian armed forces have carried out multiple waves of retaliatory operations using advanced missiles and drones.
US military bases across the West Asian region, as well as Israeli military bases in the occupied territories, have been pounded, incurring damage to the tune of billions of dollars, according to US media reports.
Earlier in the day, Iran's deputy foreign minister, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, said Iran neither sent a message to the United States nor received one from the aggressor regime.
“No, we haven’t heard anything and we have not conveyed any message to Americans because we are now defending ourselves. We are in a defensive mode,” he said.
He noted that Iran is trying hard to defend its people in the imposed war, adding that the country reserves the right to self-defense.
