Iran will retaliate if infrastructure is hit, Pezeshkian says

Iran President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Saturday that Tehran would respond forcefully if its infrastructure or economic centers were targeted.

In a post on X, Pezeshkian said Iran did not carry out preemptive attacks but would retaliate strongly if attacked.

He also warned regional countries not to allow Iran’s adversaries to use their territory to wage war against the country.

“If you want development and security, don't let our enemies run the war from your lands,” he said.
