Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said that “standing against the world’s greatest power, equipped with nuclear weapons, for 40 days is no joke”, and that “the world has realised the true power of the Iranian nation”, Al Jazeera reports.

Speaking in comments carried by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Araghchi also issued a direct warning to regional states.

“We warned regional states that US bases used for any aggression against Iran are legitimate targets,” he said.
