Iran has declared it will respond to the US strikes on the country 'with firmness', following the latest round of attacks in the Sirik region. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei made the statement on Tuesday, despite warnings from US President Donald Trump that Iran would be 'totally wiped out' if it retaliates.
The attack on a residential home in Sirik, which occurred while families were celebrating a wedding, resulted in the deaths and injuries of over 50 innocent men, women, and children. Baqaei expressed his outrage over the assault, which he described as 'brutal', in a post on the social media platform X.
In addition to condemning the attack, Baqaei criticized governments and international institutions for remaining silent or seeking to justify such actions. He argued that their silence is not neutrality and warned that those who remain silent will not be immune to its consequences in the future.
