Iran's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abbas Araghchi, warned today that any threat against the Iranian people or its leadership will receive a firm and immediate response.

In a post on the X platform, Araghchi responded to statements attributed to Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz against Iran's leadership and Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.

The Iranian chancellor stated that the terms of the agreement signed with the United States on June 14 are clear and available to all. He added that U.S. President Donald Trump committed to containing his allies in Tel Aviv and warned that if they ignore his orders, Iran "will teach them a harsh lesson."

"Any threat against our people and our leader will receive an immediate and decisive response," Araghchi emphasized.

The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth cited Defense Minister Yisrael Katz, who claimed to have ordered the military to prepare an independent plan for a possible attack against Iran and noted that war could break out "tomorrow." According to the newspaper, Katz described Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei as an "assassination target."
