'We are going to continue this self-defence,' Iran's deputy foreign minister says | BBC News

Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Khatibzadeh warned US President Donald Trump against getting involved in a war that he said was "not his war", adding that it would bring "hell" to the region. Iran cancelled nuclear talks with the US last Sunday, citing the need to respond to Israel’s attack on Friday, and the two countries have since continued to exchange fire. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long warned that Iran is close to developing nuclear weapons, while Tehran insists its nuclear programme is peaceful. Khatibzadeh spoke to BBC’s Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet.
