Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that Tehran would continue military strikes against sites allegedly used in attacks on Iran, after the Iranian Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) fired missiles on Kuwait and Bahrain.
“Our Armed Forces are conducting self-defence strikes on sites the US is permitted to use to attack civilian shipping and violate the ceasefire,” Araghchi said in a post on X on Wednesday.
“Any hostile act will be met with an immediate, decisive response. What sanctions and war failed to achieve won’t be won with more war,” he added.
The remarks came in response to comments by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who praised the cooperation of Washington’s regional allies, including the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
“I think our allies in the region have been very cooperative — some, obviously, very aggressively cooperative, like the UAE, for example. Kuwait’s been fantastic in this part,” Rubio said.
