Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has declared that Tehran will not stand by in the wake of US attacks on Larak Island. Speaking to the world, Pezeshkian has expressed Iran's commitment to peace, stating they do not seek conflict. However, he has warned that Tehran possesses the capability to deliver a decisive response to aggression.
The instability in the region, according to Pezeshkian, would have serious ramifications for all nations. Meanwhile, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, declared that "foreigners must be cut off" from the region following the attack. Gharibabadi also stated that Washington needs to learn a serious lesson to avoid repeating their aggressions.
The US attack on southern Iran's Larak Island reportedly resulted in the death and injury of several Iranian civilians and soldiers, as reported by Iran's state news broadcaster IRIB. In response, Tehran launched a series of strikes on American infrastructure in Jordan and the UAE.
