Iran says that Israel’s attack has had “the clear complicity” of the United States

Iran pointed today to the “clear complicity” of the United States in the attack suffered in the early hours of Saturday by Israel, in a message from Iran’s mission to the United Nations, which has become in recent weeks an unofficial spokesman for foreign affairs for its country.

In its X account, the Iranian mission wrote this Saturday that the Israeli attack started from Iraqi airspace, specifically about 70 kilometers from the border with Iran, and recalled that that airspace “is under occupation, command and control of the United States.”

“Conclusion: the complicity of the United States in this crime is clear,” the message concludes.

Iran calls for an urgent meeting of the Security Council

This Sunday, Iran called for an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council to “take a firm position and strongly and clearly condemn” Israel’s attacks against the Persian country, which caused the death of four Iranian soldiers and damage to some radars the day before.

“Considering the consequences of the continuous and systematic aggressions of the Israeli regime, the Islamic Republic of Iran asks the UN Secretary General (Antonio Guterres) and the Security Council to take a firm position and strongly and clearly condemn the Israeli regime,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchí said in a letter to Guterres and the members of the Security Council, according to IRNA.

Araqchí once again condemned the Israeli attack on military targets in Iran and reiterated that the participation of the United States in the creation of tensions in the region “is quite obvious.”

Tension between Iran and Israel

According to the Iranian Army, Israeli fighters used US airspace in service in Iraq to launch long-range air-to-ground missile attacks against Iranian air defense systems and radars, in the provinces of Ilam, Juzstan and Tehran, which caused the death of four soldiers.

“Decise attacks” against Iranian military targets in retaliation, according to the Israeli Army, “for the months of continuous attacks by the Iranian regime against the State of Israel.”

US denies relationship with the attack

Senior US officials explained to the press that Washington was not directly involved in the attack, and added that Joe Biden’s government has made intense diplomatic efforts to make Israel’s response proportional and avoid nuclear or oil targets, which could have aggravated the conflict.

Biden spent Saturday morning receiving information about the situation in the Middle East during a call with his national security team and with Vice President Kamala Harris, the White House reported.

Supreme leader urges to demonstrate Iran’s power

Regarding the possible response of the Iranian regime, Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, said today that the Iranian authorities should determine the best way to demonstrate Iran’s power to Israel, in his first reaction to Saturday’s Israeli attack.

“The authorities must decide how to demonstrate the strength and will of the Iranian nation to the Zionist regime (Israel) and the best must be done for this nation and the country,” Khameneí said at an event in Tehran, in a moderate tone and without promising a response to the Israeli attack, according to the IRNA agency.

Iran’s highest political and religious authority dismissed the Israeli action as “an error of calculation” and pointed out that “the evil committed by the Zionist regime should not be minimized or exaggerated.”

Also this Sunday, the president of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, has assured that his country will respond appropriately to the Israeli attack. “Iran reserves the right to self-defense,” Qalibaf said during a parliamentary session.

Claudia Sheinbaum: Operation Against ‘El Mencho’ Was Based on Pending Arrest Warrants

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum on Wednesday rejected claims that the military operation that resulted in the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was carried out under pressure from the United States government.

Sheinbaum explained that the deployment of federal forces was aimed at executing outstanding arrest warrants against Oseguera Cervantes, who was considered one of the most wanted criminals in both Mexico and the United States.

“That was not the objective (to ease pressure from the United States). It is very important, and I want to repeat it. This individual had an arrest warrant, or several,” Sheinbaum said, referring to the operation conducted on February 22.

According to the president, the initial goal was to capture Oseguera Cervantes, but military forces responded after coming under attack during the intervention.

“The operation was to detain him. The problem is that they were attacked — the Secretariat of National Defense — and they responded at that moment,” she said.

The president insisted that the action was not carried out in response to external demands, although she acknowledged intelligence cooperation with the United States.

“It was not done in any way because of pressure from the United States, not at all. Of course, there was intelligence information from the United States that was used specifically,” she concluded.

Spain Denies Any Agreement to Cooperate with U.S. Military in Iran Operations

Spain’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares on Wednesday firmly denied that Madrid has agreed to cooperate with the U.S. military in operations against Iran, contradicting statements made minutes earlier by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.

“I categorically deny it,” Albares said in a radio interview cited by EFE. “The position of the Spanish government regarding the war in the Middle East, the bombings in Iran, and the use of our bases has not changed by a single comma.”

Earlier in the day, Leavitt told reporters that Spain had “agreed to cooperate with the United States military in recent hours,” following President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a trade embargo on Madrid. Trump had warned of economic measures after Spain reportedly refused to allow the Pentagon to use facilities at Spanish bases for operations related to Iran.

“I have no idea what that could be referring to or where it could be coming from,” Albares said, insisting that Spain’s position “has not changed at all” and therefore “remains absolutely unchanged.” He added that he had “no desire” and “almost no time” to speculate about the White House spokesperson’s remarks.

Albares reiterated Spain’s “No to war” stance, which he said had been clearly and forcefully expressed by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez in an institutional address. According to the foreign minister, that position has been supported by “many European colleagues.”

White House Says Spain Agrees to Cooperate with U.S. Military After Trump Threatens Trade Embargo

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Wednesday that Spain has agreed “in recent hours” to cooperate with the U.S. military, following President Donald Trump’s threat to impose a trade embargo on Madrid.

Trump had warned of potential commercial measures after Spain reportedly refused to allow the Pentagon to use facilities at Spanish military bases for operations related to Iran.

“With respect to Spain, I think you heard the president’s message yesterday loud and clear, and I understand that in recent hours they have agreed to cooperate with the United States military,” Leavitt said during a press briefing.

She added that the U.S. military is currently coordinating with its counterparts in Spain. However, the president expects broader support.

“The president expects that all of Europe, all of our European allies, of course, will cooperate in this important mission — not only for the United States, but also for Europe,” Leavitt said.
