Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says Tehran will exact a “HEAVY price for Israeli crimes” after Israeli attacks on two of the country’s largest steel factories and nuclear sites.

“Israel has hit 2 of Iran’s largest steel factories, a power plant, and civilian nuclear sites, among other infrastructure. Israel claims it acted in coordination with the US,” says Araghchi in a social media post.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards also warned employees of industrial sites in the region “that have American shareholders as well as heavy industries allied with the Zionist regime… to leave their workplaces immediately” as they vowed to carry out retaliatory attacks.
