The spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, said that Iran will definitely respond to strikes on its territory, and Israel and the US will pay a heavy price for this, despite Washington's claims of non-involvement.

It was reported by CNN, the Iranian state media IRNA.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran will definitely respond, and the enemy will pay a heavy price," Shekarchi stressed.

According to him, both Israel and the US will suffer a powerful blow. He emphasized that residential areas were damaged as a result of the airstrikes, and the Iranian military is on full combat alert.
