Six additional buildings at Iran’s Isfahan nuclear site, including a fuel rod production facility, were struck in the latest round of Israeli airstrikes, the International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed Sunday.
The United States had crossed one of Iran’s most serious red lines by attacking its nuclear facilities, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Sunday.
"The US crossed a very big red line by attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities," he said.
Speaking in Istanbul, Araghchi said the US bore full responsibility for the consequences of its actions and said Tehran would respond using all tools at its disposal.
“The attack on peaceful nuclear installations marks a dangerous precedent and will not go unanswered,” he said.
Araghchi criticized Washington for undermining diplomacy and giving what he called a green light to Israel’s military operations.
"They betrayed diplomacy, they betrayed negotiations...Iran has done nothing wrong, it is difficult to understand why we were attacked on a false claim."
Regarding the overnight US attacks on nuclear site, he said "the extent of damages are being investigated."
"The international community should condemn the attacks."
Tehran reserves its right under the UN Charter to defend itself and respond proportionately to acts of aggression, he added.
US President Donald Trump launched a new war by ordering strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council said Sunday.
“Trump, who came in as a peacemaker president, has started a new war for the US,” Medvedev wrote on Telegram.
His remarks came after Trump confirmed the US had struck three major nuclear sites in Iran and warned of further attacks if Tehran rejects peace.
