Araghchi warns Washington: Iran will not leave any attack unanswered

Al Mayadeen | June 10, 2026

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that Iran will not leave any attack or threat unanswered, stressing that the United States has chosen to test what he described as Iran’s resolve despite battlefield losses.

Araghchi affirmed in an X post that the Iranian armed forces would respond to any aggression, signaling a hardened stance amid rising regional tensions.

‘Leave our region if you want to be safe’

Addressing Washington directly, Araghchi warned the United States to withdraw from the region, saying: “Leave our region if you want to be safe.”

He added that the history of the Persian Gulf contains what he described as “dire fates” that befell foreign forces, framing foreign military presence as inherently risky.

The foreign minister’s statement comes after the US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that it had launched strikes on Iran, stating the operation was carried out under orders from the US military leadership and framed as a response to what the US claims is Iran’s downing of an Apache helicopter.

CENTCOM described the strikes as a “proportionate response” to what it called “unprovoked Iranian aggression,” linking the escalation to reports surrounding the incident. However, no independent verification has confirmed the claims.
