Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei says, on Friday, that if the United States violated the Islamic Republic’s security, it, in turn, would do the same to the US.
“If they threaten us, we will threaten them. If they actuate that threat, we will actuate ours. If they violate our nation’s security, we will violate their security without a doubt,” Khamenei said.
