Iran exercised "self-defence" against Israel and its action is concluded unless the "Israeli regime decides to invite further retaliation", Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araqchi said in a post on social media platform X early on Wednesday.
Tehran launched a salvo of missiles on Tuesday against Israel in retaliation for the killing of several leaders of Iran-aligned armed groups.
Araqchi said Washington was told by Tehran not to interfere following its attack on Israel.
"Message exchanges do not mean coordination. No message was sent prior to our response [to Israel]. After this response, a warning was conveyed via Switzerland telling Americans that it was our right to self-defence and that we do not intend to continue [the attack]," Araqchi said according to Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency.
