By Joseph De Avila

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi joined the country's president in warning that his nation would show no restraint if its energy infrastructure was attacked again following the Israeli strike on facilities linked to South Pars, the world's biggest gas field.

"ZERO restraint if our infrastructures are struck again," Araghchi said on social media Thursday. "Any end to this war must address damage to our civilian sites." Iran retaliated to Israel's attack on South Pars by launching two waves of attacks on Qatar's Ras Laffan, the site of the world's largest liquefied natural gas plant as well as attacks on energy facilities in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates. Araghchi said Iran's response employed a "FRACTION of our power." He said Iran showed restraint out of respect for requests to deescalate.

On Wednesday, Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, said attacks on the country's energy infrastructure "could have uncontrollable consequences."
