Iran’s parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned on Tuesday that any attack on the Islamic Republic’s infrastructure would result in a tit-for-tat response.

“The enemy should know that whatever they do, undoubtedly it will have a proportionate and immediate response,” Ghalibaf wrote on X, more than a week into the Middle East war that began with US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

“We today go with the rule of ‘an eye for an eye’, without compromise, without exception,” he said.

“If they start a war on infrastructure, we will undoubtedly target infrastructure.”
