Mr. Amir-Abdollahian further warned that any illegal use of force by Israel would result in a decisive response by Iran, aimed at making Israel regret its actions.
Iran’s foreign minister described the country’s stance as a necessary defense against continued provocations, emphasizing the need for international diplomatic intervention to reduce tensions and ensure regional stability.
Amir-Abdollahian called on the international community – especially the United Nations Security Council – to force Israel to cease military operations against Iran to prevent further escalation in the region.

The Iranian general affirmed that Iran is ready to repel any Israeli attack on Tehran’s nuclear facilities.
In addition, he said, in response to potential threats from Israel against Iran’s nuclear facilities, Tehran could also review its nuclear policy.
Since 2022, Iran has announced that it possesses the technology to make a nuclear bomb but has no plans to do so.
In May 2023, Israel accused Iran of preparing materials to build five nuclear bombs, warning that this development would have serious consequences for the Middle East.
Tensions between Iran and Israel have escalated since April 1 after Tehran accused Tel Aviv of attacking Iran’s diplomatic facility in Syria, killing 7 senior members of the IRGC.
On the evening of April 13, Iran launched a large-scale attack campaign, launching more than 300 drones and missiles into Israel.
Tensions risk escalating further as the Israeli cabinet is discussing plans to retaliate against Iran.
