State media cited the General Staff of Iran's armed forces saying it would
respond to U.S. Air Force strikes on multiple sites in Sistan-Baluchestan and
Hormozgan provinces with a "crushing, devastating strike." The statement said
U.S. forces operating in the region "must suffer heavier, more severe losses"
and reiterated Iran will not forgo the rights of its people and will exact a
heavy price from its U.S. adversaries.
