He indicated that Israel struck two of Iran’s largest steel production sites, alongside a power facility and civilian nuclear locations. The attacks also affected additional infrastructure, per the statement.
Araghchi noted that Israel asserted the operations were conducted in coordination with the United States.
He remarked that these assaults contradict a recent extension of the diplomatic deadline announced by the U.S. President, referencing ongoing efforts to reduce tensions.
According to the Iranian minister, these strikes occurred despite the outlined timeline for negotiations and diplomatic discussions.
Araghchi indicated that Iran considers the assaults a significant escalation and cautioned that the nation would retaliate.
“Iran will impose a heavy price for Israeli actions,” he stated in the announcement.

Araghchi emphasized that the attacks involved civilian nuclear sites and major industrial assets, which he described as critical components of the country’s infrastructure.
The Iranian foreign minister reiterated that Israel’s actions are in contradiction to the diplomatic timeline that had been extended for negotiations, asserting that Iran would hold Israel accountable for these assaults.
He warned that Iran would impose substantial repercussions in response to what he characterized as Israeli offenses.
