A senior Iranian security official told Press TV that any attack against Iran would receive an "immediate, unlimited and devastating" response. The senior security official emphasized that Iran will not impose any geographical or temporal restrictions, nor restrictions on the selection of targets, when it comes to self-defense. In response to the continued military threats from Israel, the official stated that the US and Israel continue to repeat their threats in order to exert psychological pressure on the Iranian people. He added that both countries should know that these threats will in no way affect Iran's determination to respond with force to any aggression. The official, who reaffirmed Iran's firm position, stated: "We do not recognize, in principle, any concept of a limited or short-term attack. "Any aggression will receive an unlimited response that will expand beyond the region." He also warned the countries of the region that any cooperation with attackers would make them legitimate targets of Iran's defense operations. "Any attack against Iran will cause the war to expand, not end it. Other areas in the region will not know relaxation either," he emphasized.
