If attacked, Iran’s response will be ‘more severe’ than previous wars, military spokesman warns
Iran’s military has warned of “heavier and more severe” counterattacks in the event of a new aggression by the United States and the Israeli regime, saying the country has renewed its target bank and is ready for war.
In an interview with Al Jazeera, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, a senior spokesperson for the Armed Forces, said that any response to new aggression would be different from what has come before.
He said enemies would certainly face surprises and new tactics, and that if the region enters another round of war, Iran’s strikes would extend beyond regional borders.
“The attacks will be much more intense, heavier, and stronger than the previous two wars,” he warned.
Shekarchi also addressed the situation regarding oil exports. He warned that if war resumes and Iran is prevented from exporting its oil, it will prevent oil from leaving the region altogether.
The criminal US-Israeli aggression against Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders, including Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
The Iranian Armed Forces responded by launching daily missile and drone operations targeting locations in the Israeli-occupied territories as well as US military bases and assets across the region.
Iran also shut down the Strait of Hormuz to enemies and their allies following the launch of the unprovoked war.
It began exercising far stricter controls last month after US President Donald Trump announced an illegal blockade of Iranian vessels and ports in violation of the terms of a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire that took effect on April 8.
