Iran warns it will target US if found involved in attacks

Iran will retaliate against the United States if it determines that Washington is directly involved in attacks on its territory, Tehran’s ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva said on Wednesday.

“If we come to the conclusion that the United States is directly involved in attacks on Iran, we will start responding to the US,” Ambassador Ali Bahreini said.

Bahreini warned that Iran’s response to ongoing Israeli strikes would be without restraint, though he emphasized that it would remain “proportionate and in accordance with international law.”

“We will not show any reluctance in defending our people, security and land. We will respond seriously and strongly, without restraint,” he said.
