Iran threatens powerful response if infrastructure targeted

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned on Saturday, March 28, that Iran would respond forcefully if its infrastructure or economic centres came under attack.

The statement was published on the social media platform X and reported by Caliber.Az.

We have said many times that Iran doesn't carry out preemptive attacks, but we will retaliate strongly if our infrastructure or economic centers are targeted.
To the countries of the region:
If you want development and security, don't let our enemies run the war from your lands.
