Iran vows ‘crushing response to any foolish move’ after Israeli, US threats

The spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry says the country will not hesitate to deliver a crushing response to enemies in case they make any foolish move against it.

Nasser Kan’ani made the remarks during a press conference in the capital Tehran in response to the latest anti-Iran comments by US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on X, formerly known as Twitter, the previous evening.

Graham accused Tehran of being behind the large-scale surprise attack by members of Hamas and other Gaza-based resistance fighters against Israel, writing that “Iran should pay dearly for any escalation directed at Israel.”

“An attack by Hezbollah, and other Iranian proxies, would be devastating to Israeli defense systems. If such an attack occurs, Israel and the United States should go after the Iranian oil refineries and oil infrastructure – which is the lifeblood of the Iranian economy,” the American lawyer added.
