Iran's Foreign Ministry says introducing Iran as a cause of fuel price hikes is merely a sign of the US administration's evasion of responsibility for consequences of military aggression against Iran

Foreign Minister Araghchi stated: This trip is taking place following the unjust war waged against us by the United States and the Israeli regime, the developments that followed it, and in fact amid a situation that continues to be a state of war. First and foremost, naturally, our most important objective is to appear at a major international forum to defend the legitimacy, rights and interests of the Iranian people. The United Nations is the largest international forum.
