A senior Iranian security official has warned that any renewed strike against Iran will be grounds for an “immediate, unlimited, and devastating response,” stressing that the country will impose no geographical, temporal, or target-related limitations on its self-defense.

The high-ranking official, speaking to Press TV on Saturday, made the remarks in response to the continuation of the enemy's military threats against Iran.

"The United States and Israel keep repeating their threats in an attempt to put psychological pressure on the Iranian people," the official said.

"But they must understand that these threats will have no impact whatsoever on Iran's determination to respond forcefully to any act of aggression."

He stated unequivocally that any act of aggression against Iran will trigger a response that would be immediate, unlimited, and devastating, with no restraint.

"We do not recognise any concept of a 'limited' or 'short-term' attack," the official said. "Any act of aggression will be met with an unlimited response extending beyond the region."

The official further warned countries in the region that any form of cooperation with the aggressors will turn them into legitimate targets of Iran's defensive operations.

"Any attack on Iran will lead to an expansion of the war, not its end," the official stated. "Other parts of the region will not see peace either."
