Iran warns its reply to any new US attack would be '10 times' more severe

A senior spokesman for Iran's armed forces warns that Iran's response to any new US attack would be "10 times" more severe, Al Jazeera reports.

According to Al Jazeera, the warning came on 12 November in answer to a threat from Trump that any future attack on Iran would be five times stronger than previous ones. Trump's remark is reported by Al Jazeera and has not been independently checked.

It is the third such warning from Iran's military in three days. On 11 November Maj-Gen Ali Abdollahi, chief of staff of Iran's armed forces, said that any centre of threats to the Islamic Republic would be a direct target, and that "The previous blows were only the beginning".

Like Abdollahi's messages, this is a warning, not an action. The spokesman's statement has not been independently checked.
