Iran threatens to respond harshly in case of military confrontation with the U.S.

In depth

A senior Iranian security official told official media outlets that Tehran's policy regarding negotiations with the United States remains unchanged. According to him, Iran does not plan to hold talks unless Washington takes practical steps in line with the seven conditions it has set.

Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei denied that negotiations with the U.S. are taking place and stressed that his country is still awaiting an American response to the seven conditions, which include compensation and the removal of sanctions. He clarified that no talks are currently taking place between Tehran and Washington.

Rezaei claimed that in the event of an American attack, Iran would respond by striking distant American bases, which he said have not yet been attacked. According to him, aircraft that take off from European countries to carry out attacks would also be considered targets.
