Iranian Defense Minister: Iran's enemies will inevitably face a devastating response

Iranian Defense Minister Mohammad Reza Ashtiani said that Iran's enemies would pay a heavy price.

In a tweet, Ashtiani stressed that Iran's enemies will inevitably face a devastating response and will incur a heavy cost for any stupid and ignorant act.

دشمنان ملت ایران قطعاً در برابر هرگونه اقدام نابخردانه و جهالت آمیز، پاسخ دندان‌شکنی دریافت خواهند کرد و هزینه سنگینی را متحمل می‌شوند.
