Iran's Firm Stance on Israeli Aggression

On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi declared that the country's response to Israeli assaults on its Pars natural gas field and Bushehr nuclear facility was merely a small demonstration of its capabilities. He emphasized that Iran would not hold back if its critical infrastructure were targeted again. Araghchi urged that for any resolution to the ongoing conflict, both the United States and Israel must cease their attacks on Iranian civilian locations. He stated, “Our reaction to Israel's aggression on our infrastructure utilized only a fraction of our strength. The sole reason for our restraint was to honor calls for de-escalation. There will be no restraint if our infrastructures are attacked again. Any resolution to this conflict must consider the damage inflicted on our civilian sites,” as he posted on X. The situation in West Asia has intensified following Israel's strikes on Iran's energy facilities, prompting Iran to retaliate against oil installations in neighboring Gulf countries.
