Iran described on Saturday (Oct 11) the possibility, suggested by US President Donald Trump, that it could normalise relations with Israel as "wishful thinking."
Late last month, Trump said: "Who knows, maybe even Iran can get in there," referring to the Abraham Accords - a peace agreement signed during Trump's first term under which Israel normalised diplomatic relations with four Muslim-majority nations.
"Iran will never recognise an occupied regime that has committed genocide and killed children," Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi told Iranian state television.
