The head of Iran's War Headquarters warned the United States that it would face a "much harder response than before" if it attempts additional strikes on Iran, according to Israeli media. The statement, reported by Israel Hayom, follows US Defense Secretary Hegseth's recent threats of a severe American campaign against Iranian targets.
The head of Iran's War Headquarters issued a direct warning to the United States on Wednesday evening, stating that Washington would face a "much harder response than before" if it attempts further strikes on Iran. The statement, reported by Israel Hayom, comes against the backdrop of escalating US-Iran tensions and recent American threats.
Earlier this week, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed to hit Iran "hard" and bomb key facilities, and the IRGC separately issued a 'severe warning' to the US. Iran's War Headquarters statement appears to be the latest in a series of escalating rhetorical exchanges between the two sides.
No specific military measures or timetable were detailed in the warning. The statement remains unverified by independent sources at this stage, and it is unclear whether it reflects an official shift in Iran's deterrent posture or a continuation of existing messaging.
