Iran Threaten Retaliation After Trump's Comments
(MENAFN) Top military leaders in Iran delivered strong threats on Saturday, promising a powerful counterattack in response to any future aggression against Iranian interests, while condemning recent statements from US President Donald Trump.
Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif, the public relations chief for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), dismissed Trump’s latest remarks as “nonsense,” claiming they stemmed from “the result of a heavy defeat to Iran.”
Sharif cautioned in a statement aired by a news agency: “If Iran’s national interests and assets are attacked again, our response this time will be different, more crushing and destructive, and could accelerate the collapse of the American regime."
Meanwhile, Mohammad Reza Naqdi, the IRGC’s deputy commander for coordination, delivered his own warning: “If there is the slightest attack on any Shia religious authorities, whether successful or not, not a single American agent will leave this region alive. All American diplomats, military personnel, and employees in the region will either be killed or captured.”
These declarations followed President Trump’s harsh criticism of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Friday, where he suggested renewed airstrikes if Iran continued its uranium enrichment efforts.
On June 22, the US military deployed six bunker-busting bombs on Iran’s Fordo nuclear installation and launched numerous cruise missile strikes on facilities located in Natanz and Isfahan as part of its operations targeting Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
