Iran has issued a stern warning following US military strikes on its nuclear facilities, describing the action as "outrageous" and threatening "everlasting consequences" in response to the attack.
Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, made the statement on Sunday via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, emphasizing that Iran "reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people" following the military action.
The condemnation comes after US President Donald Trump announced that American forces had successfully carried out attacks targeting Iran's nuclear plants. The strikes represent a significant escalation in tensions between the two nations.
"The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences," Araghchi stated in his post.
Iran's Nuclear Program Development
BenriNews reports that Iran has invested decades in developing its nuclear program, consistently maintaining that these efforts are solely for peaceful energy purposes. The country has repeatedly denied allegations that it seeks to develop nuclear weapons.
This military action occurs amid reports that both Trump and Turkish President Erdogan had previously sought US-Iran talks, but these diplomatic efforts apparently failed to materialize due to silence from Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei.
In related developments, US officials confirmed that B-2 bombers had been moved to Guam as President Trump considered military options against Iran. Meanwhile, Iranian President Pezeshkian reportedly told French President Macron that "Iran's nuclear rights cannot be taken away by war."
The situation has prompted Australia to close its Tehran embassy and order staff to leave Iran amid the escalating tensions.
Hamas has also weighed in on the situation, expressing "full confidence in Iran's ability" following the US attack on Tehran, while Houthi forces have warned of potential retaliation against US ships if Washington continues its military actions against Iran.
The international community is closely monitoring this rapidly developing situation as concerns grow about further military escalation in the region.
