Geneva — British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt on Monday warned Iranian not to underestimate the resolve of the US.

“They don’t want a war with Iran. But if American interests are attacked, they will retaliate. And that is something that the Iranians needs to think about very, very carefully,” Hunt told reporters on the sidelines of the World Health Assembly in Geneva.

He said that Iran pulling back from the destabilizing activities it does throughout the region will help foster a long-term solution. — Agencies
