Tehran, July 22 (dpa/GNA) – Following US President Donald Trump’s latest threat to attack bridges or power stations in Iran, Tehran has announced that it will retaliate should this happen.
“Our defense doctrine is clear: eye for an eye,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on the social media platform X on Wednesday. “Any aggression against Iran, including our infrastructure, will compel a powerful and decisive response. “Those who contribute to such aggression, whatever the kind of support, will also be considered as legitimate targets.”
Earlier Wednesday, Trump had announced that, in future, he would destroy a bridge or power station in Iran every time the Islamic Republic fired on a ship in the Strait of Hormuz.
The conflict between the US and Iran had escalated again in early July, over control of the Strait of Hormuz, following Iranian attacks on ships in the strait.
Most recently, the US has attacked targets in Iran for 11 consecutive nights.
