A senior Iranian security official, quoted by the state-affiliated Tasnim news agency, dismissed reports of possible U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran as 'madness' and said Tehran has prepared a wide-scale response plan targeting vital infrastructure in Israel and U.S. energy infrastructure in the region. The claim is unverified and no specific timeline or targets were detailed.
A senior Iranian security official, speaking through the state-affiliated Tasnim news agency, said early Saturday that claims of potential U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian infrastructure are 'madness' and warned that Tehran has prepared a 'wide-scale' response plan targeting vital infrastructure in Israel and U.S. energy assets in the region. The statement, attributed to an unnamed 'senior security official,' did not specify targets or a timeline. The threat comes amid an ongoing U.S. air campaign against IRGC assets in southern Iran and follows the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' formal declaration ending its restraint policy, as The Zioneer reported in its IRGC topic page updated July 31. The official's remarks align with the IRGC's recent shift toward direct kinetic engagement with Western forces, though the claim remains unverified and based on a single source. No independent confirmation of the response plan's existence or scope is available.
