Iran Warns US and Israel Against Nuclear Facility Attacks

IRIran|

Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, has issued a stern warning to both the United States and Israel, stating that any attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would be met with a swift and decisive response. In an exclusive interview with Sky News, Araghchi emphasized that such actions would lead to a "very bad disaster" for the region. This remark comes in light of U.S. President Donald Trump's recent comments regarding Iran, as he expressed a desire for a new agreement while downplaying the complexities of the current situation.

Araghchi highlighted that the circumstances now are notably different from the past and that any trust-building measures would require significant actions from the U.S. to restore confidence after the previous deal's collapse. He dismissed Trump’s proposals, which included controversial ideas regarding Palestinians in Gaza, suggesting instead an absurd notion of relocating Israelis to Greenland.

Despite the presence of challenges facing Iranian allies such as Hamas and Hezbollah, Araghchi reassured that these groups are in the process of regrouping. Meanwhile, economic difficulties persist in Iran, with soaring inflation and high youth unemployment rates prompting a public desire for improved relations with the West and the lifting of sanctions.
