Iranian Foreign Minister Issues Warning Against Third-Party Interference in Conflict

TEHRAN — Following recent missile strikes on Israel, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has issued a stark warning against any third-party intervention in the conflict. This warning came during a series of telephone conversations with his counterparts from Great Britain, Germany, and France.

According to Trend News Agency, Araghchi emphasized that Iran is committed to avoiding an escalation of tensions and does not seek war, although it is prepared for one if necessary. "The Islamic Republic of Iran does not seek an escalation of tensions and war, although it is not afraid of war. We warn any third party against interfering in this conflict," Araghchi stated. He clarified that the recent Iranian actions, which followed two months of restraint, targeted only military and security facilities in Israel.

This development follows the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) announcement that it had launched dozens of ballistic missiles at Israel, marking a significant escalation in the region's ongoing tensions.
