An informed source told Iran's Tasnim news agency that Tehran will respond decisively to any US military aggression and will not yield to American threats. The source said every American attack will be met with a military response, not political appeasement, hours after President Trump set a Wednesday-night deadline for a nuclear deal or renewed strikes.
An informed source told Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency that Tehran's response to any renewed US military action will be decisive, hours after President Trump warned that strikes would resume by Wednesday night if Iran does not sign a nuclear deal. 'Whatever day it may be, we have proven this in the past and will prove it in the future, whether tomorrow or in the coming days,' the source said, according to Tasnim's Persian report.
The threat is the latest in a rapid escalation of the rhetorical war between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Trump confirmed heavy strikes on Iranian infrastructure using 49 Tomahawk missiles and set a deadline of Wednesday night for a deal, saying that if Iran does not sign, 'we will go back to bombing.' Iran's military spokesman warned of a 'harsh response' earlier on Wednesday, and another Iranian official responded to Trump's ceasefire remarks by warning him against violating the truce.
The new statement from Tasnim's source — described as informed but not named — directly frames the Iranian position as one of military confrontation rather than political negotiation. It asserts that Iran has demonstrated its willingness to respond to any US aggression and will not change course regardless of the day or timing of American action. The claim remains from a single source, and no official Iranian government or military confirmation has been issued at this level.
