Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the destruction of civilian infrastructure will not break the spirit of the Iranian people nor force them into capitulation. He called the attack on the tallest bridge in the Middle East a desperate act that brings no military advantage. "Targeting civilian facilities, including unfinished bridges, will not compel Iranians to surrender. It only reveals the defeat and moral collapse of an enemy in disarray," Araghchi declared. He specifically addressed Trump's ultimatums and threats that "nothing will remain of Iran," announcing a complete reconstruction of the country in defiance of Western allies. "Every bridge and building will be rebuilt, and even stronger. However, what will never recover is the damage inflicted on America's reputation," the Iranian minister conveyed.
