In a post on X on Monday, Gharibabadi said the US attack on the under-construction Darkhovin power plant constituted “a dangerous assault on Iran’s peaceful infrastructure” and held Washington “fully responsible for the consequences arising from increased insecurity and instability.”
“Iran strongly condemns this act of aggression and will take the necessary measures to defend its national interests and security,” he added.
The remarks came after a US strike targeted the Darkhovin nuclear facility, which is under construction in Iran’s southwestern Khuzestan Province.
The Darkhovin nuclear power plant is one of Iran’s major civilian nuclear energy projects to generate electricity for the national grid.
