Iran warned that if the United States decides to respond and attack, Tehran will retaliate by firing at Israel, according to a statement. The conditional threat comes amid heightened US-Iran tensions.
The Iranian threat was published Tuesday evening, with a source stating that if the United States chooses to respond to an unspecified action and attack, Tehran will retaliate by firing at Israel. The statement did not detail what the US would be responding to.
The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple Iranian threats this month, including warnings tied to potential US strikes and Israeli retaliation plans. The broader backdrop includes heightened US-Iran tensions, with the US military reportedly on standby and Israel having resolved to retaliate if attacked, even at the risk of a confrontation with Washington.
The credibility of the threat and the specific trigger remain unclear. The statement is attributed to a single source.
