Iran says army stronger than at conflict's start, vows unlimited response to any attack

bfmtv.com (French) —

Iran's army said Saturday it is "stronger" than at the start of the Middle East conflict, vowing an "immediate" and "unlimited" response to any attack amid threats from President Donald Trump. Military spokesman Mohammad Akraminia stated forces are on higher alert, ready to retaliate without geographic limits. This follows reported explosions on Qeshm Island and Iran's claim it destroyed a US drone there. Trump acknowledged "minor strikes" while insisting Iran must not get nuclear weapons. The US offered a $20 million reward for information on Iran's nuclear program, as diplomatic efforts continue over the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
