Iran has once again warned that it would strike Israel in response to any military attack threatened by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Ali Shamkhani, adviser to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said Tehran’s “response to enemy aggression will extend to the heart of Tel Aviv.”
Shamkhani stressed that “Iran’s absolute priority at this stage is full readiness to deter any military threat.”
He added, “Iran’s response will not be limited to the sea. Any confrontation will inevitably spread to other countries in the region. Past experience has shown that any war in this geography does not remain limited.”
Shamkhani also said Iran is monitoring enemy operations and “if necessary, will target critical choke points, with responsibility for the consequences lying with those who initiate the aggression.”
Separately, Iranian Army Chief Amir Hatami said, “Our hands are on the trigger,” emphasizing that “Iran will not disappear.”
He added, “Iran has many leaders, officers, and soldiers who will defend the country to the last moment.”
