Iran has warned it will respond to any U.S. military action targeting its infrastructure, after President Donald Trump issued fresh threats to strike key facilities. The warning comes amid rising tensions over the strategic Strait of Hormuz, which Washington has demanded be reopened by Tuesday, April 7, or face potential consequences. Trump reportedly mentioned possible attacks on bridges, power stations, and other vital installations as part of this pressure.
Reacting to the statements, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei condemned the threats, describing them as evidence of a “criminal mindset.” He emphasized that Iran remains fully prepared to protect its sovereignty, national security, and population against any form of aggression. According to Baghaei, such rhetoric only escalates tensions and undermines stability in an already fragile region.
In a video from 2:18 shared by DWS News, Baghaei strongly criticized what he described as past actions that caused harm to civilians. He said, “They are helping Iranians with death and destruction. They killed, in one single incident, as they call it. It was not an incident. It was a deliberate attack on an elementary school in the city of Minat.”
His remarks highlight Tehran’s position that any hostile move will be met with a firm and immediate response. Iranian officials have repeatedly warned that targeting civilian infrastructure or populated areas would cross a red line and trigger broader retaliation. The situation continues to draw international concern as both sides exchange strong statements, raising fears of further escalation in the region. Read_More…
