Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi warned that his country would hold any country that “participates, cooperates, or supports” the United States responsible for any strikes launched against it, stressing that Tehran reserves the right to respond to any attack. In a speech he delivered in Kyrgyzstan, Araqchi stressed that “any participation, cooperation, or support in committing an aggressive act against Iran will entail international responsibility for the parties concerned.” He added that Iran “reserves the right to take all necessary measures for self-defense.”
