Iran's army spokesman responded to recent threats by US President Trump to strike Iranian infrastructure, saying that Iran has already proven it responds to threats in an appropriate manner. The statement, reported by N12, comes amid a broader escalation of rhetoric between Washington and Tehran over the past week.
The Iranian army's spokesman issued a statement via state-aligned channels today responding to US President Donald Trump's threat to strike Iranian infrastructure. The spokesman said Iran "has already proven" that it responds to threats in an "appropriate manner," according to N12. The statement does not detail what form such a response would take or under what conditions it would be activated. This marks the latest in a series of exchanges between the two countries. Over the past week, Trump stated in a Fox News interview that the US military is on alert regarding Iran, and Fox News later reported, citing a senior American official, that the US military is prepared to respond if Iran strikes back. Mehr news agency reported on June 9 that Iran's army had been placed on full alert after Trump's threat. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Iranian officials across multiple institutions — including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, parliament spokesperson Ebrahim Rezaee, and an unnamed senior source cited by Reuters — have all signaled readiness for escalation or retaliation. Reports of commercial aircraft evacuating from Tehran on June 9 added to the sense of tension, though The Zioneer has not independently verified those reports. The spokesman's latest statement appears to be a calibrated verbal response — reaffirming deterrence without announcing a specific operational move. No new military actions by Iran have been reported.
