Iranian Security Chief Threatens Israel Over U.S. Strikes

The secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council threatened Israel on Friday afternoon while addressing the possibility of further U.S. attacks on Iranian infrastructure. The reports quoted him saying any such attack would receive a similar response and that Israel would not be immune or spared from Iran's fighters' response. The threat was presented as a statement from Tehran's senior security leadership, not as confirmation that an attack order had been issued. The remarks put Israel explicitly in Iran's retaliation frame, tying the Iranian message to infrastructure attacks rather than to any new confirmed Israeli strike.
