Iran's response will be on a larger scale if the United States repeats its attack, APA reports.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei issued the warning in a statement marking the "National Day of Struggle Against Global Imperialism."
According to him, Iran's takeover of control of the Strait of Hormuz and the destruction of US military bases in countries across the region were a response to the war that began in February.
Khamenei also commented on the midterm elections held in the United States. Iran's Supreme Leader stressed that those who believe that changes in political parties in the US and making concessions in the face of Washington's pressure would reduce "US hostility toward Iran" are mistaken.
Khamenei stated that showing even the slightest inclination toward surrender would lead the United States to go further and "cross the line."
