Saeed Khatibzadeh, Iran’s deputy minister of foreign affairs for education and research, said that his country is within its right to respond to US attacks against its nuclear facilities as it sees fit, reports Al Jazeera.
Speaking to the media, Khatibzadeh did not dismiss the possibility of Iranian strikes against US military bases in the region.
“Iran will decide on how, when and at which level to respond to [the] Americans,” he said.
The minister described the US bombing of nuclear sites such as Fordow as a “grave mistake” that was in breach of international law.
Meanwhile, Israel and Iran trade heavy air attacks on Monday, a day after the US struck three main Iranian nuclear facilities.
Explosions rock Iran’s capital, Tehran, as Israel announces attacks on government and military sites. Iran also sends waves of missiles and drones into Israel, with blasts heard in multiple cities.
