Iran’s parliament speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, has warned the United States that bullying and breaking promises are no longer without cost.
Ghalibaf issued the warning in a post on social media, cautioning against US pressure over the Strait of Hormuz.
“Let me be clear; strike, and you will be struck,” he wrote.
The Islamic Republic said that it would only open the Strait of Hormuz through Iranian arrangements instead of American threats.
“Do not flail around pointlessly, or you will sink deeper,” Ghalibaf added.
This came after Iran’s military said it has attacked two US bases in Kuwait and two in Bahrain, warning that other American sites in the region would be hit if the US continues its strikes.
The Iranian attack came after Iran reportedly threatened a massive attack on American military bases in response to a second night of strikes by the US.
