Iran warns US of “decisive response” amid troop deployments

An Iranian lawmaker warned on March 26 that any US military action would draw a “decisive response,” amid reports Washington is deploying thousands of troops to the region.

“Any action … will be met with a decisive response,” Vahid Ahmadi said, adding Kharg Island could become a “graveyard” for US forces if there is a miscalculation, Iran International reports.

The comments come as the United States moves around 5,000 troops to the Middle East as part of a broader military buildup.
