Iran Warns: If the US Attacks, the Response Will Be Severe

Against the backdrop of Middle Eastern conflicts, the tension between Iran and the US is reaching a new stage. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi addressed the US, stating that Tehran does not want war, but is fully prepared to respond to any military threat.

“If necessary, Iran is ready to give an appropriate response to aggressors,” Gharibabadi told Reuters. According to him, Iran’s armed forces have developed action plans for all possible scenarios and will not hesitate to use force if needed.

Meanwhile, according to The Guardian’s sources, US President Donald Trump is ready to strike Iran — but on one condition: there must be a guarantee that the nuclear facility in Fordow will be completely destroyed in a single powerful blow.

Trump stated that the Fordow complex should be wiped out using the GBU-57 bomb — a 13.6-ton weapon capable of penetrating underground bunkers. However, while the Pentagon admits this bomb could disable the site, it cannot guarantee total destruction. Israeli intelligence reports indicate that the site is located 90 meters underground.

According to classified military reports, fully destroying Fordow would require initially “softening” the surface with conventional bombs, followed by a possible tactical nuclear strike delivered by a B-2 bomber. Trump, however, strongly rejects such a scenario.

Experts believe that as military scenarios become more active, diplomatic options are narrowing. In such a sensitive context, every decision can impact the fate of the entire region. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
