Iran Warns of 'Zero Restraint' If Infrastructure Attacked Again After Gulf Tensions

Kathmandu. Iranian Foreign Minister Sayyed Abbas Araghchi has stated that Iran will adopt 'zero restraint' if its infrastructure is attacked again. In a post on the social media platform X, Araghchi said that the 'only reason for restraint' was a request from well-wishers to de-escalate tensions.

"The end of any war must address the damage caused to our civilian settlements," he added.

On Wednesday, Israel reportedly began an attack on Iran's 'South Pars' offshore natural gas field in the Gulf, in partnership with Doha. Shortly after this, Qatar reported that Iran had targeted its liquefied natural gas processing center, causing a fire and extensive damage to the center.

In response, US President Donald Trump stated on his investment social media platform Truth Social, "The United States is unaware of the Israeli attack, nor is Qatar involved in it."

He added, "If Iran attacks Qatar again, the US military will carry out the 'complete destruction' of Iran's South Pars gas field."

This development comes amidst escalating tensions following the joint US-Israel attack that began in Iran on February 28. In retaliation for the attack, Iran and its regional allies have attacked areas of Israeli and American interest in the Middle East. However, Iran has naturally suffered greater damage from the attacks.
