Iran's Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir Abdollahian, affirmed that while Iran has no desire to prolong defensive actions, it remains committed to safeguarding its interests against any potential attacks.

Abdollahian emphasized in a press briefing that Tehran would promptly defend its legitimate interests if faced with new aggression, highlighting that while Iran exhibited restraint, Israeli Occupation misinterpreted the situation.

He condemned the Israeli Occupation's assault on the Iranian consulate in Tehran as a violation of international laws and conventions. Abdollahian criticized the international community for urging Iran to exercise restraint while overlooking Israeli Occupation's transgressions. He noted that Britain and France obstructed the Security Council from issuing a statement condemning the aggression against the Iranian consulate.

Abdollahian asserted that the Security Council's inaction emboldened Netanyahu to disregard laws, clarifying that Iran's military operation against Israeli Occupation was targeted and limited in scope, avoiding economic or civilian targets. He emphasized the precision of Iran's response, targeting the launch sites of F-35 aircraft as a legitimate act of self-defense.
