Iranian Foreign Minister: Tehran Will Do ‘Whatever It Takes’ After US, Israeli Strikes

Iran has begun retaliating after US-Israeli strikes, losing some commanders but maintaining military strength, affirming its right to self-defense amid ongoing tensions, Araghchi said.

  • On Sunday, Abbas Araghchi told ABC News' 'This Week' that `we are defending ourselves, and we have every right, every legitimate right, to defend ourselves`, emphasizing Iran's claim of self-defense.
  • Amid Geneva talks mediated by Oman, Iran's foreign minister said the United States attacked 'in the middle of negotiation' on Saturday, interrupting progress toward a deal.
  • Despite reported losses, Iran maintained military capability and began retaliating faster than during the 12-day conflict with Israel in 2025, with forces instructed to limit escalation, Abbas Araghchi said.
  • President Donald Trump warned early Sunday that Iran should not retaliate and said the strikes eliminated senior figures, including Iran's defense minister, as the campaign progressed faster than planned.
  • Amid domestic unrest, Araghchi alleged, without evidence, that Israel ordered killings during protests, while HRANA reported more than 7,000 killed and more than 11,000 deaths under review.
