In Short: Iran denies U.S. military strikes, while Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi urges diplomacy to resolve the Yemen conflict.
Iranian health ministry spokesperson Hossein Kermanpour reported no U.S. military strikes against Iran, contradicting 13 consecutive nights of strikes by the U.S. Central Command against the country.
In contrast, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called for diplomacy and dialogue to solve the Yemen conflict, avoiding military confrontations, in an interview published in the state-run Iran newspaper.
The war has claimed over 3,400 lives in Iran, according to the Iranian Health Ministry.
This comes as Iran's Foreign Minister emphasizes the need for peaceful resolution, reflecting the country's stance on resolving conflicts through diplomatic means rather than military action.
