Takht-Ravanchi told FRANCE 24 that Iranian officials had been "negotiating in good faith" with the US, adding that "the last round of the talks in Geneva last Thursday was a success" before the US government on Saturday "with the help of the Israeli regime, started an aggression against Iran".
The Iranian deputy foreign minister also confirmed that Iran was striking Kurdish groups inside neighbouring Iraq, amid reports the CIA and Mossad are arming those groups.
"If there is a need to protect our sovereignty, definitely we do it," he said.
