KABUL: Sayed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, stated that a potential U.S. attack on the country’s nuclear facilities would be the biggest historical mistake.
According to a video published by the Tasnim news agency Tasnim on Friday night, Araghchi made the remarks in an interview with Al-Jazeera.
“Tehran has the capability to respond to such an attack,” he said, adding that both Israelis and Americans understand which of their targets would be within Tehran’s reach if they attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities.
Concerns over a possible attack by Israel on Iran’s nuclear sites have increased since the Trump administration in the U.S. come to power.
Previously, Iranian officials had described such an attack as madness, particularly by the West and the U.S.
