In the wake of a drone attack that killed three U.S. soldiers at a military base in Jordan, Iran is warning the U.S. that any retaliatory strikes will be met with a swift response.
The Iranian warnings first came from Amir Saeid Iravani, Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations in New York.
“The Islamic Republic would decisively respond to any attack on the country, its interests and nationals under any pretexts,” IRNA quoted Iravani as saying. He described any possible Iranian retaliation as a “strong response,” without elaborating.
From NEWSMAX:
The Iranian mission to the U.N. did not respond to requests for comment or elaboration Wednesday on Iravani’s remarks.
Iravani also denied that Iran and the U.S. had exchanged any messages over the last few days, either through intermediaries or directly. The pan-Arab satellite channel Al Jazeera, which is based in and funded by Qatar, reported earlier that such communication had taken place. Qatar often serves as an intermediary between Washington and Tehran.
“Such messages have not been exchanged,” Iravani said.
President Joe Biden has confirmed he’s preparing for retaliatory strikes.
