Following Iran's strike on Israel, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held phone conversations with his counterparts from the UK, Germany, and France, declaring that Tehran is not afraid of war but does not seek it.
“The operation has concluded, but if the Zionist regime (referring to Israel — TASS) attempts to retaliate, our response will be harsher. The Islamic Republic of Iran does not seek escalation or war, although it is not afraid of it,” Araghchi's statement was shared via his Telegram channel.
He also issued a warning to any third parties, urging them not to intervene in the conflict.
