🔴 Iran Prepared for Full-Scale, Multi-Layer and All-Out War

🔹 A senior security official told Press TV that Iran has made a definitive decision to respond to any act of aggression, as well as any killing or assassination, without restrictions or restraint. The official stated that Iran would strike with full force at any accessible interests and targets of the aggressors and their supporters across the region.

🔹 From Iran’s perspective, the United States would not launch an attack without Israel, nor would Israel attack without the United States. The notion that the two regimes could wage war against Iran independently of one another is, in Tehran’s view, a bitter irony. Explicit threats by US officials and the Israeli regime to attack Iran have provided Iran with the legal and moral justification to take the necessary defensive measures.
