Iranian Foreign Ministry says response will be 'clear and very strong', begin soon

The Iranian Foreign Ministry said its response would be 'clear and very strong' and would begin soon, according to a statement. Iranian media report heavy air traffic over Isfahan, likely related to the preparations.

The statement from Iran's Foreign Ministry marks the latest in a series of threats from Tehran in recent weeks. The Zioneer has previously reported on similar warnings from Iranian officials, including the IRGC and the Supreme National Security Council. The heavy air traffic over Isfahan, a city known for its military and nuclear facilities, may indicate preparations for a retaliatory strike. However, there is no independent confirmation of the activity or its purpose.
