Forecast Trend Report by Period
A senior Iranian source said Tehran would retaliate much more forcefully if the US carries out further attacks.
BlockBeats reported on Aug. 31, citing Jinse, that the source said Tehran would respond with force “dozens of times” greater whenever Washington attacks Iran.
Referring to Iran’s recent retaliation for a US strike on Larak Island, the source said it showed that no target in the Middle East lies beyond Tehran’s reach.
The source also warned that the situation would grow more serious for ships in the Strait of Hormuz that violate rules set by Tehran.
At the same time, the source described the recent military clashes between the US and Iran as a limited and manageable confrontation. Tensions between the two countries have risen again after US forces struck a rocket launcher on Iran’s Larak Island and Iran responded with a missile attack.
