Iran warns of retaliation for attacks on infrastructure

In a message released on Friday in response to threats by US President Donald Trump, the chief of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), Ali Zolqadr, issued a stern warning. He stated, "The most hated figure in the world has once again addressed the great and grieving people of Iran in the manner befitting himself." Zolqadr 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 aggression, Zolqadr said, "As we have previously announced, any attack on infrastructure will be met with reciprocal action, and the criminal Zionist regime, which is behind these acts of aggression, will not be spared the response of (Iranian) fighters." The statement underscores Iran's readiness to defend its infrastructure and retaliate against any perceived aggression, particularly from Israel. According to Mehr News, the warning comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with Trump having made threats against Iranian infrastructure. The SNSC chief's remarks reflect Iran's longstanding policy of deterrence and its commitment to respond decisively to any attacks on its soil.
