The Iranian Foreign Ministry said in an official statement Saturday evening that it is "ready and prepared" and that any country that assists the United States will be attacked. The statement comes amid ongoing US-Iran tensions over the possibility of strikes on Iranian infrastructure.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry issued an official statement Saturday evening at 22:13 Jerusalem, warning that the Islamic Republic is "ready and prepared" and that any country that assists the United States in potential strikes against Iran will be attacked. The statement did not specify which countries it referred to. The threat is similar to previous warnings from Iranian officials; as The Zioneer has reported, the Iranian Foreign Minister issued a similar warning on July 22, and the Defense Ministry on June 10 stated that Iran was prepared to respond with "great military force." The statement comes as the US and Iran remain in a tense standoff, with the Trump administration and Israel reportedly planning possible strikes on Iranian nuclear and energy infrastructure, and Tehran repeatedly threatening retaliation.
