JAKARTA - Iran will respond to any threats from the United States, Iran's Revolutionary Guard Commander (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami said on Wednesday, as Washington DC considered its response to the drone strike that killed US soldiers in Jordan.
"We heard threats coming from American officials, we told them they had tested us and we now know each other, there is no unanswered threat," Major General Salami said.
Separately, Iranian envoy to the United Nations Amir Saeid Iravani also warned on Wednesday that Tehran would respond firmly to any attacks on its territory, its interests, or Iranian citizens beyond its borders.
Comments from Iranian officials came a day after US President Joe Biden announced he had decided how to respond to a drone strike by a militant group said Tehran-related in Jordan that left three soldiers dead and 34 others injured.
Although President Biden and Uncle Sam's state officials agree, they don't need a new war in the Middle East, including not wanting a war with Iran.
Although President Biden has considered his choice and it is expected that there will be a retaliatory attack, the response time has not yet been determined.
"I don't think we need a wider war in the Middle East. That's not what I'm looking for," said President Biden.
