Iran will defend itself by all means necessary, its foreign minister said on Sunday, following the US strikes against key sites in Iran's nuclear programme.

"Iran continues to defend Iran's territory, sovereignty, security and people by all means necessary against not just US military aggression, but also the reckless and unlawful actions of the Israeli regime," said Iranian diplomatic chief Abbas Araghchi on the sidelines of a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Istanbul.
