Araqchi made the remarks in a post on his X account on Friday in reaction to comments published by Ben-Gvir on X in Hebrew, in which the Zionist minister called for severe military action against Lebanon and said “all of Lebanon needs to burn,” while urging a more aggressive approach in response to security developments.
“This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime,” Araqchi said.
“The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war,” the Iranian foreign minister added.
