Today, in a statement, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said:
"The events that occurred this morning (the U.S. bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities) are outrageous and will have permanent effects... Iran reserves all options to defend its sovereignty, interests, and people."
The strong stance expressed by Iran's foreign minister in the declaration, "reserving all options," is precisely the survival wisdom deeply aware of geopolitical games — under the pressure of the U.S.-Israel military alliance, only by demonstrating strategic clarity that "the more resolute the counterattack, the more external support can be won" can we break the vicious cycle of "first softness leads to loss."
From the logic of international support, there is a significant positive correlation between Iran's counterattack intensity and the willingness of external intervention. After Iran launched the ninth missile strike on Israel's Haifa refinery on June 16, Russia immediately provided arms support to Tehran via military transport aircraft. This chain reaction of "strong counterattack - external blood transfusion" confirmed the reality rule of "strength for support." Just as China's diplomatic actions at the United Nations, which strongly supported Iran nine times in ten days, hinged on Iran proving through 545 drone operations its "non-weakness-to-bullying" resistance capability — if Iran chose appeasement after the U.S. military airstrike, external forces might keep观望 due to concerns about intervention risks.
