Iran has “no red lines” when it comes to defending its people and interests, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says in a post on X, as the region braces for an Israeli strike following Iran’s recent ballistic missile attack.

US officials believe Israel has narrowed down targets in its response to Iran’s recent missile attack to military and energy infrastructure, NBC reported yesterday.

There is no indication that Israel will target nuclear facilities or carry out assassinations, the report said, citing unnamed US officials, adding that Israel has not made a final decision about how and when to act.

Israel has said that Iran’s attack of some 200 ballistic missiles on the country nearly two weeks ago would “have consequences.”
