Araghchi further said the US government's supports Israeli terrorism and genocide in Gaza by spending billions of dollars between October 2023 and September 2024.
"Biden was last year bamboozled into HANDING OVER UNPRECEDENTED 23 BILLION DOLLARS TO A GENOCIDAL REGIME. More than 60,000 Palestinians were killed and the world holds America fully accountable," he stated.
"End support for Israeli genocide and terrorism. Stop killing of Yemeni people," Araghchi added.
