Iran Warns Everlasting Consequences After US Nuclear Site Strikes

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi strongly condemned the US strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, describing the attacks as 'criminal behaviour' and a 'grave violation' of the UN Charter, international law, and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. He warned that these actions will have 'everlasting consequences' and emphasized that Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people, including potential retaliation under the UN provisions for self-defense. The targeted locations included key nuclear facilities at Isfahan, Fordo, and Natanz. Araghchi called on the international community to be alarmed by the 'extremely dangerous, lawless' US actions and highlighted the broader implications for international peace and security. This marks the first official Iranian response to the US military operation against its nuclear program.
