Iran’s top diplomat warns UN chief Antonio Guterres that Tehran is ready for a “decisive and regretful” response if Israel attacks the Islamic Republic in retaliation for it firing 200 missiles at the Jewish state earlier this month.
“Iran, while making all-out efforts to protect the peace and security of the region, is fully prepared for a decisive and regretful response to any adventures” by Israel, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says, quoted by his office.
Araghchi is visiting Jordan, Egypt and Turkey as part of Tehran’s diplomatic reach-out to countries of the region “to end genocide, atrocity and aggression,” the Iranian foreign ministry’s spokesperson says in a post on X.
