\u201cThe path to normalizing conditions is the cessation of these attacks. The cessation of war must be accompanied by guarantees to prevent the recurrence of such aggressions,\u201d Araghchi said. He also warned against any support for the US and Israel during the escalation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSuch actions will only escalate the situation and make conditions more complicated,\u201d he said. Araghchi called on the UK to refrain from cooperation with Washington and Tel Aviv \u201cin military or media arenas.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Criticizing the UK\u2019s provision of military bases to the US, he said: \u201cThese actions will certainly be considered participation in the aggression and will be recorded in the history of bilateral relations.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt the same time, we reserve our inherent right to defend the sovereignty and independence of our country,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Araghchi also criticized the stance of the UK and some other European countries, saying Iran was attacked while engaged in diplomacy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Iran\u2019s FM Araghchi said Tehran\u2019s response to US\u2011Israeli strikes used only a \u201cfraction\u201d of its firepower and warned of \u201czero restraint\u201d if its energy infrastructure is hit again.
