Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warns that the war in the Middle East will have global repercussions, affecting everyone regardless of wealth, faith, or race. He suggests that more Western officials should push back against the conflict, citing growing voices, including European and US officials, who deem the war on Iran unjust.
Araghchi’s statement comes amid escalating tensions, with Iran vowing to defend itself and targeting US and Israeli assets. The conflict has led to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil supply, and has sparked concerns about energy prices and supply chains.
Iran’s modern involvement in wars dates back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, then the 1980‑88 Iran‑Iraq War, so roughly 45 years of continuous conflict or proxy fighting. If you count only the current direct US‑Israel‑Iran war that flared in February 2026, it’s now in its 19th day.
