As Iran diplomats in Qatar for talks, US strikes south Iran

Iranian Armed Forces spokesman, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarji, confirmed that Iran will manage the Strait of Hormuz, this vital waterway, “with full determination and ability,” to establish security and protect international trade and economy.

Brigadier General Shikarji added that if his country were exposed to any attack, the Iranian attacks “will be more severe, heavier and stronger,” declaring that the Islamic Republic of Iran is on alert for war, and has set its goals if the United States and Israel launch a new attack.

The Iranian Tasnim News Agency quoted Shekarchi as confirming that the response to any new aggression will differ from what preceded it, and that the enemies will “certainly face new surprises and tactics,” noting that Iranian strikes, if the region enters another round of conflict, will cross regional borders and will be much more severe, more violent, and more powerful than the two previous wars.
