Iran has "no red lines" in defending its people and interests, foreign minister says
Iran has “no red lines” in defending its interests, the country’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said Sunday.
“While we have made tremendous efforts in recent days to contain an all-out war in our region, I say it clearly that we have no red lines in defending our people and interests,” Araghchi said in a social media post, also criticizing US arms deliveries to Israel.
Key context: His comments come as Iran braces for Israel’s response to its missile attack earlier this month.
Iran has been engaging with countries in the Middle East to determine whether the scale of Israel’s response could be reduced, sources familiar with the matter told CNN earlier this week.
The US has been consulting with Israel and officials have made clear they do not want Israel to target Iranian nuclear sites or oil fields.
