Iran won't hesitate to respond to any 'new aggression', says foreign minister

Iran's foreign minister has said that Iran would "not hesitate" to protect itself against any "new aggression".

"Exercising the right of legitimate defence shows Iran's responsible approach to regional and international peace and security," Hossein Amirabdollahian wrote on X on Sunday.

"At this point, the Islamic Republic of Iran has no intention of continuing defensive operations, but if necessary, it will not hesitate to protect its legitimate interests against any new aggression."
