Iran threatens with harsh responses against attacks in the Persian Gulf

The President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, declared on Saturday that Iran will respond harshly against neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf if the country's infrastructure or economic centers are attacked. In a message posted on platform X, Pezeshkian emphasized that Iran does not carry out preventive attacks but will react strongly in the event of aggression. This statement comes amid the escalation of Israeli and American airstrikes on Iran's energy and defense infrastructure, in the context of the conflict that began on February 28. Iran has already attacked sites in Gulf states that host US military bases, and the Israeli army has carried out strikes on targets in Tehran. No further details about these attacks have been provided.
