Iran’s foreign minister vows harsh retaliation if Israel strikes Iran in response to missile barrage

Beirut: Iran’s foreign minister warned Israel Friday that if it carries out an attack on Iran, Tehran will retaliate in a harsh way.

Abbas Araghchi was in Beirut for meetings with Lebanese officials. His visit came three days after Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel, the latest in a series of rapidly escalating attacks that threaten to push the Middle East closer to a region-wide war.
