Iran vows 'devastating' response after US threats
Iran has declared that its reaction to any fresh threats from the United States would be "devastating" following Washington's pledge to impose the most stringent financial penalties in history. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent revealed a plan for these sanctions on Monday, as President Donald Trump had warned that any country providing aid to Iran would face economic consequences.
Major General Ali Abdollahi, the chief of staff of Iran's Armed Forces, stated that Iran's response would be "broad and decisive" across various domains, including land, sea, air, air defense, and cyberspace.
