A senior Iranian official has told Al Jazeera that they are telling Israel to “prepare for what is coming, and our response will be public, and there are no red lines”, APA reports, citing Al Jazeera.

“All American and Israeli assets and interests in the Middle East have become a legitimate target. There are no red lines after this aggression, and everything is possible, including scenarios that were not previously considered,” the official said.

“The United States and Israel have started an aggression and a war that will have wide and long-lasting repercussions. We were not surprised by the joint American-Israeli aggression and we have a complex response with no time limit,” the official stated, adding that any calls for Iran to show restraint or surrender are “unacceptable and mere wishful thinking”.
