FM: Iran’s response to Israel to be more powerful than attack

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that Iran will not rush or hesitate before retaliating against Israel in response to the recent Israeli reaction to an Iranian missile attack.

"We advise the Israeli regime not to test Iran's resolve. Our response to any attack will be more powerful than the attack itself. We do not waver, but we do not rush our response either. Any attack on Iran's infrastructure will meet with a decisive reply," Araghchi said, Caliber.Az reports via Russian media.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran does not seek to escalate tension and does not aspire to war, although it is not afraid of it," the minister emphasised.

He added that the purpose of his visits to Syria and Lebanon is to demonstrate that Iran has supported and will continue supporting resistance with all its strength.

Araghchi added that the missile strike against Israel proved Iran's determination to respond to any aggressive actions.
