Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has made a strong attack on America’s security umbrella. “The projected US security umbrella is full of holes and is inviting trouble rather than preventing it. Now the US is seeking help from others, even China, to ensure the security of Hormuz,” he said in a tweet.
Araghchi appealed to neighboring countries to repel foreign aggressors, especially those forces whose only concern is Israel. He said that we appeal to our brothers and nephews to drive out these foreign invaders.
Touted US security umbrella has proven to be full of holes and inviting rather than deterring trouble. The US is now begging others, even China, to help it make Hormuz safe.

American bases are a threat, not a security
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf also reacted strongly to the presence of US forces in the Gulf. He said that this war has made it clear that American bases in our region do not protect anyone but are a threat. America sacrifices everything only for Israel and does not care about anyone else. He said whoever is wrapped under the American umbrella is actually naked!
