Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said his country will definitely give a stronger and more forceful response to any act by the Israeli regime against the country.
He made the remark in an interview with Italy’s TG3 state-owned TV channel on Friday when asked whether the US has given a green light to Israel to respond to Iran’s October 1 missile strike against the regime - dubbed Operation True Promise II - and whether Iran would retaliate against a possible Israeli response, Press TV reported.
Abbas Araghchi once again emphasized that Iran did nothing leading to the escalation of tension in the region, adding, “We are not afraid of war, but we do not want it either.”
He slammed European countries’ approach to Israeli crimes and urged them to play a “more active role” to end the tensions in the region.
Iran launched hundreds of missiles towards the Israeli entity’s military, and espionage and intelligence bases all over the occupied territories on October 1 as part of Operation True Promise II.
The operation came in response to the regime’s assassinations of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, Secretary General of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and Brigadier General Abbas Nilforushan, Deputy Commander for Operations of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC).
