Iran threatens stronger response if attacks on infrastructure continue
Shafaq News- Tehran
Iran used only a “small portion” of its capabilities in responding to Israel following attacks on its infrastructure, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Thursday.
In a post on X, Araghchi noted that “the only reason for restraint was respect for requested de-escalation.”
Our response to Israel's attack on our infrastructure employed FRACTION of our power. The ONLY reason for restraint was respect for requested de-escalation.ZERO restraint if our infrastructures are struck again. Any end to this war must address damage to our civilian sites.

Earlier today, Iran’s military announced drone attacks targeting Israeli sites, including the Ministry of Internal Security in Jerusalem, military positions, and a television channel in Tel Aviv.
The development follows a US-Israeli strike on Iran’s South Pars gas field in Bushehr province, marking a shift toward targeting energy infrastructure. In response, Iran launched drone attacks on Israeli sites and targeted energy facilities in Qatar and the UAE.
