A senior Iranian defense ministry official told the Tasnim news agency early Saturday that US media claims about possible US or Israeli strikes on Iranian infrastructure are 'crazy' and that Iran has prepared a comprehensive response plan targeting Israeli vital infrastructure and US energy infrastructure in the region. The official said Iranian security forces have demonstrated capability and will to carry out such an operation.
A senior Iranian defense ministry official told the Tasnim news agency early Saturday that US media claims about possible US or Israeli strikes on Iranian infrastructure are 'crazy' and that Iran has prepared a comprehensive response plan targeting Israeli vital infrastructure and US energy infrastructure in the region. The official said Iranian security forces have demonstrated both the capability and the will to carry out such an operation.
The statement follows a previous warning from the same source at 01:15 Jerusalem, as The Zioneer reported, in which the official said Iran had prepared a comprehensive response plan for any 'crazy step' by the United States. At 03:08, as The Zioneer reported, US officials told ABC News that plans for strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure were in advanced stages, though plans could still change.
The new threat explicitly names Israeli infrastructure and US energy assets in the region as potential targets, marking a more specific escalation in rhetoric. The Zioneer has not independently verified the official's claims.
