TEHRAN, Iran: Iran issued a stern warning to Israel on Tuesday, cautioning that any Israeli attack on Iranian infrastructure, particularly nuclear or oil sites, would result in a strong retaliation. This comes in response to growing concerns that Israel may target Iranian facilities following Tehran’s missile attack on October 1, 2023, which marked the second strike by Iran in six months.

Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, emphasized that any attack on Iranian infrastructure would provoke a more forceful response from Tehran. This warning followed Israel’s statement that it was preparing a response to Iran’s missile barrage, which was launched as a retaliatory move against the deaths of key figures tied to Hezbollah and Hamas, allegedly caused by Israel.

Iran also warned that an attack on its nuclear sites would cross a “red line.” Iran insists its nuclear program is entirely peaceful, although its recent increase in uranium enrichment to 60% has raised international concerns.

Tensions remain high, with Israel, backed by the United States, keeping a close watch on Iran’s nuclear ambitions, and Iran poised to respond to any military action that threatens its sovereignty.
