Iran will give a tough and quick response to any aggression, said Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi.

“Strengthening of Iran’s military power is deterrent and is not against any other country. While Iran has not waged war against any other country in its contemporary history, it will not hesitate for a moment to respond harshly and quickly to any aggressor,” Mehrnews reported quoting Deputy FM. 

Touching upon the groundless claims of the US on Iran’s nuclear activities, Araghchi noted that “the US sanctions on Iran are illegal and contrary to the essence of humanity, but we are going to change this threat to an opportunity.”
