Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi rejected recent U.S. intelligence estimates about Tehran's military capabilities on Friday, claiming Iran's missile inventory and launcher capacity now exceed prewar levels despite months of U.S. and Israeli strikes.
"Every time a diplomatic solution is on the table, the U.S. opts for a reckless military adventure," Araghchi wrote on X amid renewed clashes in the Strait of Hormuz. "Whatever the causes, the outcome is the same: Iranians never bow to pressure and diplomacy is always the victim."
