Iran warns it will respond ‘in kind’ if its infrastructure is attacked
The war between the US and Iran has been going on since February 28. Although last week Trump had hinted toward ending the conflict soon, his fresh threat said otherwise.
Meanwhile, Tehran responded to Trump’s Sunday warning. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said, “Our armed forces have made it clear that in case Iran’s infrastructure is attacked, we would react in kind.”
“Our armed forces would target any similar infrastructure that is owned or in any way or manner related to the United States or contributes to their act of aggression against Iran,” Baghaei added.
