Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has warned Israel that any attack on Iran's infrastructure would be met with retaliation. Araghchi stated that Iran does not seek conflict or wish to increase tension and war but is fully prepared for war if Israel chooses to 'test our will.' Amid escalating tensions following Iran's missile launches last week in retaliation for Israel's assassinations of senior Hezbollah, Hamas, and Iranian figures, Iran emphasized that its missiles can strike any target and reassured its people of its readiness to defend the country. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Commander also affirmed Iran's peak readiness to respond to enemies and confront any malicious moves from the 'Zionist enemy' with strength, firmness, and decisiveness.
