Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Friday the country has intelligence about Israel's plans to attack its infrastructure.

He made the remarks in a post on social media platform X while stressing that Iran would show "zero restraint" if its infrastructure is attacked.

"We are men and women of principles. Iranians do not sneak attack adversaries while engaged in dialogue. Only when attacked do we powerfully respond," Araghchi said, adding, "We have intelligence on Israeli plans to strike infrastructure. Once again: zero restraint if our infrastructure is attacked."

In a post on X on Thursday, Araghchi pointed to Iran's retaliatory attacks on energy infrastructure affiliated with the United States and Israel in the region, saying, "Our response to Israel's attack on our infrastructure employed fraction of our power."

"The only reason for restraint was respect for requested de-escalation. Zero restraint if our infrastructures are struck again. Any end to this war must address damage to our civilian sites," he stressed.

On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, killing Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded by launching waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. bases and assets in the Middle East.
