A top Iranian official has rejected President Donald Trump’s warning not to retaliate against massive US-Israel bombardments, saying there would be “no limit” to the country’s self-defence, AFP reports.

“Nobody can tell us that you don’t have any right to defend yourselves. We are defending ourselves, whatever it takes, and we see no limit for ourselves to defend our people, to protect our people,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told ABC News.

“What the United States is doing is an act of aggression. What we are doing is an act of self-defence. There are huge differences between these two,” he said.
