Iran’s Armed Forces chief of staff, Major General Ali Abdollahi, said the country’s military was prepared to respond to any new threats with a “broad and decisive” response.
The warning comes after President Donald Trump announced plans for a major new economic campaign against Iran, including measures targeting countries that continue doing business with Tehran.
Iran has condemned the planned sanctions as illegal and warned that any country helping enforce them could face consequences.
The escalating economic pressure comes as diplomatic efforts remain stalled, leaving both sides locked in a tense confrontation.
With Washington preparing tougher sanctions and Tehran refusing to back down, fears are growing that the economic standoff could further worsen tensions across the region.
