In a post on X on Friday, Araghchi praised Iran’s military and linked its performance to his call for greater regional cooperation.
“Iran's Powerful Armed Forces have shown their readiness, capability, and might in face of the world's most expensive military,” Araghchi wrote, referring to the US armed forces.
“When Muslims stand together, we can face every challenge by malicious outsiders head-on,” he added. “Time to rely only on ourselves and embrace true brotherhood.”
