"Eye For An Eye": Iran Warns Of Forceful Response To US Strike
Iran has issued a stern warning to the United States regarding potential retaliatory strikes against its domestic infrastructure. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that any offensive action would be met with an equivalent use of force.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on Wednesday that the Islamic Republic is prepared to respond in kind to any military strikes targeting its national infrastructure. The statement follows reports of US contingency planning involving potential strikes on Iranian power plants or bridges.
The exchange of rhetoric intensified after Washington indicated it might target specific Iranian land-based assets for every vessel disrupted or attacked in the Strait of Hormuz. This maritime corridor remains a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies and a frequent site of geopolitical friction.
Araghchi emphasized that Iran considers such threats a violation of international norms and reaffirmed the country's policy of proportional retaliation. No specific military actions have been initiated by either side at this time, though regional tensions remain elevated.
