In an interview with Chinese media, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says his country is “fully prepared for the possibility of further attacks by Israel.”

Israel’s air force carried out a large-scale strike on Iran in October in response to two massive drone and missile attacks the Islamic Republic launched against the country in the past year.

Recently, there have been some calls in Israel for another strike against Iran in response to the ongoing attacks on Israel by Tehran’s proxy in Yemen, the Houthis. The group has fired multiple ballistic missiles at central Israel during the night in recent weeks.

“I hope Israel will refrain from taking such reckless action as it could lead to a large-scale war,” Araghchi tells CCTV.
