Iran’s parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says that Tehran will meet any attack with a strong response, AFP reports, citing local media, after its Revolutionary Guard said it had targeted Kuwait in retaliation for US attacks.

“Today, the Iranian nation, in its battle with America and the Zionist regime, showed that the era of free-of-charge Iran threats is over and that any aggression will be met with a decisive, regrettable, and proportionate response,” Ghalibaf says, according to local news agency ISNA.
