Iran warns of “decisive response” to any new aggression by US

The spokesman for Iran’s Defense Ministry has warned that any new threat, attack, or act of aggression by what he described as the enemy would be met immediately with a “decisive, crushing, and regret-inducing response” from Iran.

Speaking to reporters, Brigadier General Reza Talaei Nik said the American and “Zionist enemy” would have to submit to what he described as the legitimate and definitive rights of the Iranian nation, either on the battlefield or at the diplomatic table, Tasnim News Agency reports.

He said the enemy would not be able to escape what he called the “quagmire it has fallen into” unless it recognizes the “logical, legitimate, and definitive rights” of the Iranian people.

Talaei Nik said Iran had demonstrated significant capabilities both on the battlefield and in diplomacy, supported by what he described as the Iranian people’s presence in the field. He added that if the enemy failed to accept Iran’s “rightful and definitive demands” in diplomacy, it should expect a repeat of its defeats in the military arena.

He further stated that the repeatability of the enemy’s battlefield defeats was predictable in light of regional realities, adding that, based on past trends, the Iranian nation would remain the main victor of the war in the future.

The spokesman said Iran had “decisively demonstrated” its capabilities and capacity to defend the rights of the Iranian nation in both diplomacy and on the battlefield.

He also said repeated withdrawals of American vessels and warships from the conflict zone reflected the determination and capabilities of Iran’s Armed Forces, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and the Army, as well as their readiness to deliver a “regret-inducing response” to any hostile act.
