The chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee warned Thursday that if the United States harms Iran's national security again, Iran will respond against American security wherever US personnel or assets are located. The threat continues Tehran's hardened public posture amid heightened regional tensions, as reported by Israeli media analyst Hananel Aviv.
The chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee issued a new threat against the United States on Thursday, warning that any further American strike on Iran's national security will be met with a response against US security worldwide. The statement, reported by Israeli media analyst Hananel Aviv, was published at 14:32 Jerusalem time.
The threat joins a series of maximalist statements from Iranian parliamentary and military figures over the past month. As The Zioneer has reported, committee chairman Ebrahim Azizi has previously warned that 'this time, the war will not be limited to the region' and that any violation of understandings with Iran will meet a 'crushing response.' The committee's spokesman has also called on the US to surrender, and parliament speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf has declared Iran's armed forces ready to 'respond differently.'
The latest warning did not specify a trigger event or a timeframe for retaliation. It comes amid an ongoing period of elevated US-Iran tensions, though no new American strike on Iranian targets has been reported in the immediate hours before the statement.
