Summary Araghchi wrote on social media that Iran’s defence strategy is an ‘eye for an eye’ response against any attacks on its infrastructure
(Web Desk) - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned that Iran would respond forcefully to any further American ‘aggression’ in calls with regional counterparts on Saturday.
Araghchi held separate calls with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, according to posts on the Foreign Minister’s Telegram channel, warning that Iran would respond in kind to any “adventurous action” by the United States.
Fidan also noted the call on his social media, writing that the two officials “discussed the latest status of the ongoing negotiation process.”
In a post reporting a call with Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Araghchi said that Iran would respond decisively and proportionally to “any aggression” from the US, Israel or other countries in the region.
Last week, Araghchi wrote on social media that Iran’s defense strategy is an “eye for an eye” response against any attacks on its infrastructure.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry warned regional countries Saturday against allowing the United States and Israel to use their territory or facilities for attacks on Iran, saying Tehran would target the points from which such attacks were launched.
“The defensive strikes of our courageous armed forces continue at full force,” the ministry said, citing the naval blockade of Iranian ports and commercial shipping, attacks across the country, intensified economic pressure and unlawful threats.
It added that the Islamic Republic, under Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, would continue defending Iran’s independence and national security against the “US-Israeli coalition.”
