US President Donald Trump touted the possibility of attacking Iran again after the Islamic Republic's foreign minister said three nuclear facilities had been badly damaged in strikes in June.
Trump issued the warning in a social media post on Monday after Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told Fox News that Tehran could not give up its nuclear enrichment programme, even though it was damaged by US strikes.
"It is stopped because, yes, damages are serious and severe. But obviously, we cannot give up on enrichment because it is an achievement of our own scientists. And now, more than that, it is a question of national pride," Araghchi said.
On his Truth Social platform, Trump referenced Araghchi's comments about the nuclear sites being severely damaged and said: "Of course they are, just like I said, and we will do it again, if necessary!"
The US carried out strikes on Iran's Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear facilities on 22 June, assisting Israel, which had already been trading missile fire with Tehran since 13 July.
