Iran Says US Attacks Will Have 'Everlasting Consequences'

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has condemned the recent US attacks as "outrageous" and said his country has a right to defend its sovereignty.

"The events this morning are outrageous and will have everlasting consequences," he posted on X, adding that the attacks were "lawless and criminal" behavior.

"In accordance with the UN Charter and its provisions allowing a legitimate response in self-defense, Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interest, and people," the foreign minister said.

Iran's atomic energy organization also called the US attacks "a barbaric act that violates international law."

The agency added that it "will not let the path of development of this national industry... be stopped."
