Iranian FM Araghchi warns against Israel's false-flag operations in the region

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi referred to Egypt as a friend and important partner of the Islamic Republic of Iran and warned against Israel's false-flag operations in the region.

In a post on his X account, Araghchi wrote that Egypt is an important friend and partner in the region, and its security is of utmost important to US.

He added that we must all be vigilant against Israeli plots and false-flag operations designed to undermine regional peace.

Araghchi pointed out that the threat is clear, mutual, and fearful of Muslim solidarity.

Earlier, the Islamic Republic of Iran Army successfully executed the 26th phase of Operation Thunder, launching a precise drone strike against the United States military’s Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain.

The operation, carried out by advanced destruction drones, targeted critical infrastructure, including power generators, navigation systems, and administrative support buildings of the US military presence in the region.

According to a statement from the Army’s Public Relations Department, the strike was a direct and justified act of retaliation for the martyrdom of Brigadier General Majid Kazemi, the valiant Su-24 pilot who was killed in action while defending the Islamic Republic against US-Zionist aggression.

"Despite the presence of multiple advanced defense systems and heavy fortification, recent and ongoing attacks on US bases in the region have inflicted significant damage on the equipment and facilities of the US military, whose regional footprint is defined by aggression and war crimes," the statement read.

The Sheikh Isa Air Base is considered one of the most sensitive and strategically vital US military installations in the Persian Gulf.
