Iran Warns US Against Attacks on Its Infrastructure, Vows Strong Retaliation
Iran's top diplomat Seyed Abbas Araghchi has issued a stark warning following threats from the United States against Iranian infrastructure. Describing the threats as a normalization of war crimes and genocide, Araghchi stated any attack would provoke a decisive and comprehensive military response by Iran's armed forces. This significantly escalates rhetoric amid ongoing US-Iran tensions.
The Iranian government stressed that consequences of such military action would not be confined to Iran, but would disrupt the entire region and have severe ramifications for the global energy supply and world economy. Responsibility for these outcomes, Iran asserted, would rest squarely on US officials and their allies.
This warning signals heightened risk of conflict escalation between Iran and the US, with Israel also implicated in the threatened actions. The growing hostility raises alarm over stability in the Middle East and risks impacting global markets reliant on regional energy exports.
The discussion between Iran and France’s foreign ministers underscored Tehran’s alignment with voices opposing US policy, further isolating Washington amid diplomatic efforts to quell rising conflict.
