Iran entering 3rd phase of conflict with US and Israel, deputy foreign minister says

Iran is entering a third phase of its conflict with the United States and Israel, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said, TASS reports.

He said the first two phases of the confrontation were the 12-day war with Israel and the mass protests that have continued in Iran since late December.

“Yes, they have changed their tactics, but I can say one thing: they will lose in this phase as well, just as they did in the previous two,” the deputy foreign minister said.
