The US continues the deployment of forces in the Middle East, which includes the arrival of an aircraft carrier and other military assets. Against this background, a senior Iranian official said tonight (between Friday and Saturday) that his country will treat any attack “as an all-out war against us”, as reported by Reuters.
The same source added regarding the security preparations of the US: “This military reinforcement, we hope is not intended for an actual conflict, but our army is prepared for the worst scenario. This is why everything is on high alert in Iran.”
He claimed: “This time we will treat every attack, limited, unlimited, surgical, kinetic, whatever you call it – as an all-out war against us, and we will respond in the hardest possible way to put an end to it.”
