Iran accuses Trump of betraying democracy after strikes

  • Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi accused Donald Trump of lying to his voters and betraying democracy.
  • Araqchi's statements came after US military strikes hit three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday, June 21.
  • He claimed Trump, who was elected on a platform to end costly 'forever wars,' had deceived his own voters.
  • Araqchi condemned Trump's actions as an 'act of aggression' against Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities and a 'flagrant breach of the UN charter'.
  • The US strikes followed earlier attacks by Israel against Iran on June 13, which Israel justified by claiming Iran was nearing nuclear weapons development.
