A senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has warned that Tehran would respond with a massive wave of missile and drone attacks if the United States carries out further military strikes against the country.
Mohsen Rezaei, a military adviser to Khamenei, issued the warning on Wednesday in a post on X, declaring that any new aggression by Washington would trigger an immediate and forceful response.
“Every shot fired and every attack will be met with a deluge of missiles and drones,” Rezaei wrote, adding that “the aggressor will swiftly be punished.”
The warning comes in the wake of recent US strikes targeting an Iranian tanker and facilities on Qeshm Island.
The attacks reportedly heightened tensions in the region and were followed by retaliatory strikes on Kuwait and Bahrain.
The latest exchange of threats has further raised concerns about a wider escalation of hostilities in the Middle East.
