Iran warns of retaliation for attacks on its infrastructures

In a message released on Friday in response to threats by US President Donald Trump, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, a top security official of Iran, stated, "The most hated figure in the world has once again addressed the great and grieving people of Iran in the manner befitting himself." He added that Trump was angered by the remarkable and historic turnout of the Iranian and Iraqi people at the funeral of martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei. Reaffirming Iran’s firm response to the US and Israeli aggression, Zolghadr said, "As we have previously announced, any attack on infrastructures will be met with the reciprocal action, and the criminal Zionist regime, which is behind these acts of aggression, will not be spared the response of (Iranian) Armed Forces." The statement underscores Iran's stance on defending its infrastructure against any foreign aggression, particularly from the US and Israel. According to Mehr News, the warning comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US, with Trump having previously made threats against Iranian infrastructure. The Iranian official's remarks also highlight the massive public mourning for Ayatollah Khamenei, which drew large crowds in both Iran and Iraq, as a sign of the people's support for the Islamic Revolution.
