Iran's Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, declared on Sunday that the country has 'no red lines' when it comes to defending its people and interests. This statement was made amidst escalating tensions in the region, particularly following Iran's recent missile attack and in anticipation of Israel's potential response.
Araghchi emphasized that despite efforts to prevent an all-out war, Iran remains steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding its sovereignty. He also criticized the United States for its arms deliveries to Israel, adding another layer of complexity to the already volatile situation.
Iran has been actively engaging with other countries in the Middle East to assess the potential magnitude of Israel's retaliation. Sources familiar with the matter have indicated that there are ongoing discussions aimed at de-escalating the situation and avoiding further conflict.
Meanwhile, the United States has been in close consultation with Israel, urging restraint and caution in their response. American officials have explicitly stated their opposition to any Israeli actions targeting Iranian nuclear facilities or oil fields, underscoring the delicate balance of power and interests at play in the region.
