Iran has responded to US President Donald Trump's threat in the same tone. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says his country will react harshly if the US attacks Iran.
“Nations around the world are expressing anger and frustration based on the information they have. There are many issues and events that many nations are not fully aware of. The anti-Zionist and anti-US sentiments seen on the streets of Europe and the United States stem from limited knowledge.
More awareness can lead to more action. All I am saying is that this hardline group should leave Palestine. The hostility from the US and Israel has always been there. They threaten to attack us, which we do not think is very likely, but if they do any harm, they will surely receive a strong reciprocal blow. If they are thinking of causing unrest within the country as in previous years, the Iranian people themselves will deal with them. Just like before,” said the Supreme Leader of Iran. (A2 Televizion)
