Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says that Tehran will not exercise any restraint if energy facilities are attacked in the war with the United States and Israel again.

“Our response to Israel’s attack on our infrastructure employed FRACTION of our power. The ONLY reason for restraint was respect for requested de-escalation,” says Araghchi in a post on X.

“ZERO restraint if our infrastructures are struck again.”
