Iran’s foreign minister warned on Monday that it would respond to the United States and Israel in a “more decisive manner” should they attack Iran again.
The comments appeared to be in response to remarks by US President Donald Trump, who had threatened earlier in the day to “wipe out” the Islamic republic’s nuclear programme if it resumed atomic activities following a round of US strikes last month.
“If aggression is repeated, we will not hesitate to react in a more decisive manner and in a way that will be IMPOSSIBLE to cover up,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in a post on X.
“If there are concerns about the possible diversion of our nuclear program into non-peaceful purposes, the ‘military option’ proved incapable — but a negotiated solution may work,” he added.
It remains unclear how much damage was caused by the US strikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities, which came after Israel launched a surprise bombing campaign that it said was aimed at preventing Iran from obtaining an atomic weapon.বিস্তারিত
