Attacks on Iran will be met with a "powerful and decisive" response, Aragchi warns

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi warned that any attacks on his country will be met with a "powerful and decisive" response.

"Our defense doctrine is clear: eye for an eye," he said in a post on X. "Any aggression against Iran, including our infrastructure, will compel a powerful and decisive response."

He added that those who assist and support such strikes will also become "legitimate targets" of Tehran. 

Our defense doctrine is clear: eye for an eye.

Any aggression against Iran, including our infrastructure, will compel a powerful and decisive response.

Those who contribute to such aggression, whatever the kind of support, will also be considered as legitimate targets.
