Iran will respond to recent US-Israeli strikes in residential areas, a news outlet affiliated with its military quoted the armed forces spokesperson as saying, Reuters reports.

Abolfazl Shekarchi also urged regional countries and fellow Muslims to indicate “US-Zionist (Israeli) hiding places” to maximise the precision and impact of Iranian strikes while minimising harm to civilians, who he said are “used as human shields”.
