Acting Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani said Iran has no trust in either Israel or the United States, stating that both have never been honest in fulfilling their commitments. He added that the US decision-making system is heavily influenced by 'extremist and war-mongering factions' and the Israel lobby, according to his remarks circulated via Iranian media.
Acting Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani on Monday issued a sharp critique of both the United States and Israel, saying Tehran has 'no trust whatsoever' in either regime and accusing both of never being honest in fulfilling commitments. His remarks, circulated via Iranian channels, singled out the US decision-making process as 'heavily influenced by extremist and war-mongering factions and the Israel lobby.' Bagheri Kani stated that Washington — not Tehran — 'should be concerned.' The comments come amid heightened regional tensions following Israeli and US strikes on Iranian targets and as the Trump administration pursues the Islamabad Agreement framework with Tehran. The Zioneer previously reported similar distrust expressed by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, who argued after a strike in Dahieh that the US was unwilling or unable to meet its commitments. Bagheri Kani's statement reinforces Tehran's public posture of rejecting both American and Israeli credibility, even as diplomatic channels remain open.
