Pezeshkian warned that such actions could lead to a repeat of past diplomatic failures. Additionally, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi conveyed similar sentiments in a call with his Pakistani counterpart, indicating that the US's recent actions reflect 'bad intentions and lack of seriousness in diplomacy'.
