Foreign minister warns Iran will show ‘zero restraint’ if infrastructure hit again

In a post on X, Iran's foreign minister claimed to have “intelligence on Israeli plans to strike infrastructure”, and said the nation would exercise “ZERO restraint” if the attack took place.

“We are men and women of principles. Iranians do not sneak attack adversaries while engaged in dialogue. Only when attacked do we powerfully respond,” wrote Abbas Araghchi.

His comments came after tensions escalated since the Israeli attack on Iran’s South Pars gas field and the subsequent retaliatory strikes by Iran against energy infrastructure in Israel and the Gulf.
