Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of Iran’s regime, strongly criticized Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a post published on X on Sunday evening, July 13, 2025, responding to Netanyahu’s stated conditions for a potential agreement with Iran.
Araghchi wrote in his post:
Netanyahu pledged victory in Gaza almost two years ago. The end result: military quagmire, facing arrest warrant for war crimes, and 200,000 new Hamas recruits.
In Iran, he dreamed that he could erase 40+ years of peaceful nuclear achievements. The end result: every one of the… pic.twitter.com/1eJZB9qphy

The foreign minister of Iran’s regime also wrote in his message that Netanyahu had failed to “erase 40+ years of peaceful nuclear achievements” and claimed that each of the dozens of Iranian scientists killed by Israel “had trained 100+ capable disciples. They will show Netanyahu what they are capable of.”
In an interview aired Sunday on Fox News, the Israeli Prime Minister laid out three conditions for supporting any agreement with Iran’s regime: halting uranium enrichment, banning ballistic missiles with a range over 300 miles (482 kilometers), and abandoning the regime’s proxy forces involved in terrorism.
In this exclusive interview, Netanyahu emphasized that if Iran were to provide guarantees on these three issues, “then we are dealing with a different regime.” Otherwise, he said, Iran should remain isolated and be left to face whatever internal conditions develop.
Netanyahu also stressed that had Israel and the United States not attacked the Iranian regime’s nuclear sites last month, Iran would have been capable of obtaining a nuclear weapon within a year.
The Iranian regime’s foreign minister’s critical post in response to Netanyahu’s remarks drew reactions from Israeli officials.
Gharibabadi: No IAEA inspectors are currently in Iran
Amid escalating rhetoric between Iranian regime and Israeli officials, Kazem Gharibabadi, deputy for legal and international affairs at Iran’s Foreign Ministry, stated that “no inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency are currently present in Iran.”
According to the state-run ISNA news agency, Gharibabadi confirmed this during a televised program on Sunday evening, July 13, 2025, adding that “if the Agency has any request or demand, the decision-making authority for that will be the Supreme National Security Council.”
One day after the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, the Iranian regime’s Majlis (parliament) passed an urgent resolution to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency. It declared that any resumption of cooperation would be conditional on receiving security guarantees for Iran.
In his Sunday interview, Gharibabadi referred to this decision, saying, “The parliamentary resolution is clear, and based on it, our cooperation with the Agency is suspended.”
He added: “If certain conditions are met, then based on the parliamentary resolution, the final decision for any kind of cooperation with the Agency lies with the Supreme National Security Council. We have informed the Agency of this, and any request it makes will be considered by that body.”
