Iran has warned that it will deliver a devastating response to any act of aggression or brutality by the United States. Major General Ali Abdollahi, commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, issued the warning on July 19, 2026, emphasizing that any U.S. attack would be met with a decisive and destructive reply.

Abdollahi pledged to strengthen unity among Iran’s armed forces, citizens, and officials, asserting that the country would make the United States pay a heavier price than in past conflicts. In a statement, he accused Iran’s enemies of attempting to sow division and discord between the Iranian people and their leaders following a series of military setbacks.

The remarks, reported by Middle East Eye, reflect Tehran’s continued stance of resistance amid tensions with Washington, underscoring its readiness to respond forcefully to perceived threats.
