Iran has cautioned Israel and the United States that any attack on its nuclear facilities would be "crazy" and could trigger a "very bad disaster" for the region, APA reports citing MSN.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi made the statement in an interview with Sky News, marking his first public comments since Donald Trump began his second term as US president.
Araghchi dismissed the likelihood of such an attack.
He said: "We have made it clear that any attack on our nuclear facilities would be faced with an immediate and decisive response. But I don't think they will do that crazy thing.
"This is really crazy. And this would turn the whole region into a very bad disaster."
The foreign minister's remarks come amid heightened tensions between Tehran and Washington following the Trump administration's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

Since the US exit from the agreement, Iran has resumed enriching uranium to levels Western governments claim could be used for nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies, maintaining its program is solely for civilian purposes.
