Iran’s top diplomat said Tehran is ready for any future Israeli attacks on the country, warning that such action could spark a wider conflagration, in comments aired Saturday.
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s remarks to Chinese state-run media come amid rising concern that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for

Donald Trump’s fault? Was it Donald Trump’s fault that Iran has been pursuing the nuclear bomb since the 1990s, and Donald Trump’s fault Iran signed President Obama’s stupid 2015 deal? Riiiight.
Speculation has also arisen that Israel may strike Iran in response to recurring ballistic missile attacks launched against Israel by Yemen...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...

...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is

Republic"We are fully prepared for the possibility of further Israeli attacks," Araghchi said to China’s state-run CCTV, according to a translation provided by the broadcaster. "I hope Israel will refrain from taking such reckless action, as it could lead to a large-scale war."
Or Israel could play Hamas & Hezbollah all over the former imamate of Iran…
Israel has carried out two direct attacks on Iran over the past year in response to unprecedented drone and missile attacks, including an October 1 barrage of some 200 ballistic missiles, most of which were intercepted.Israeli warplanes carried out a counterstrike on October 26, hitting military facilities and air defenses protecting other key sites.
In April, Israel hit an air defense battery near a nuclear site in response to a volley of some 300 drones and missiles fired at Israel by Iran.
In contrast to bombastic rhetoric often utilized by Tehran to threaten Israel, however, Araghchi said Iran would pursue a "diplomatic approach" and would consult with allies, including China.
That’s nice. Why China?
"We believe that reason will ultimately prevail and prevent actions that could have serious consequences," Araghchi said.Do remember those words when the time comes, mkay?
The interview with Araghchi was conducted on December 28, during a two-day state visit by the Iranian diplomat to Beijing last month seeking to cement bilateral ties. It was only aired a week later.During a meeting on December 28, Araghchi and his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi discussed Iran’s nuclear program, with Araghchi telling a presser following the meeting that "2025 will be an important year regarding Iran’s nuclear issue."
