Iran MP says secret weapons ready as US sends warships
An Iranian lawmaker said Tehran has prepared “special and secret” weapons to respond to any possible US attack after Washington deployed warships to the region.
Abbas Papizadeh, a member of parliament’s presiding board, said the United States should take seriously a recent warning by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and not place too much confidence in its naval forces.
“Iran has prepared special techniques and confidential weapons for any potential attack,” he said, according to state media, adding that if war breaks out, the conflict would take on a regional nature.
He said any confrontation would affect global oil markets and the wider economy, and described the US naval deployment as a media move aimed at influencing Iran’s economy.
