Iran warns of 'harsh response' to any aggression amid US, Israeli threats
Iran has warned that any external aggression against the country will trigger a fierce military response, following threats from the U.S. and Israel regarding potential strikes on Iran's nuclear sites.
"The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran regularly maintain and improve their ability to confront any threat. We will use all our might to respond to any attack or aggression against our country. Those who threaten Iran should know that if these threats materialize, they will immediately be met with a comprehensive response," the diplomat said at a weekly news conference, News.Az reports, citing TASS.
"Any threats against the Islamic republic will be met with a harsh response."
"We bring it to the attention of our neighbors that any attempts by third parties to carry out provocations and arson will have consequences. The nature of fire is such that it spreads quickly," Baghaei went on to say.
On March 7, Trump said he had sent a message to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, proposing talks on the nuclear program. While Tehran rejected direct communication with the US, it indicated that discussions through mediators could be a possibility.
