Speaking at a press briefing, Araghchi warned that Washington’s actions would carry “everlasting consequences.”The U.S.-Israeli offensive targeted several of Iran’s key nuclear facilities, including sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. U.S. President Donald Trump described the operation as “very successful” and issued a stark warning against any Iranian retaliation, saying, “Remember, there are many targets left.”Despite the scale of the attacks, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported no signs of increased off-site radiation following the strikes.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised Trump’s “bold decision,” affirming that the U.S. and Israel acted in “full coordination.” Netanyahu also claimed the strikes were necessary to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear capabilities.Iran reports that over 400 people have been killed and at least 3,056 injured since Israel began its offensive on June 13. Meanwhile, Iranian missile strikes on Israeli targets have reportedly killed at least 24 people.Tensions in the region continue to escalate, with global leaders urging restraint amid fears of a broader conflict.
