If the US joins the military operations launched by Israel, Iran will be ready to launch retaliatory strikes against American military personnel in the Middle East, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said in an interview with NBC News, APA reports.
"When there is a war, the parties strike each other. This is a clear issue. Self-defense is the legitimate right of every country," the minister said.
Iran's top diplomat also said that if US President Donald Trump had wanted to, he could have convinced Israel to stop attacking Iran with a single phone call.
