Iran: Army spokesman Mohammad Akrami Niya warns of a more severe and broader response to any new US attack The next response to any new American aggression will be more severe and wider in scope, Akrami Niya said. In the event of a new war, the conflict will not be limited to West Asia, and the armed forces are updating their target bank to include tangible and intangible American and Israeli assets. US facilities, equipment, forces, and interests anywhere within range may be targets for retaliation.
