Iran’s Supreme National Security Council says armed forces have begun “crushing response” to attacks
Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said in a statement that the armed forces will give a “crushing response” to the U.S. and Israeli attacks.
“The enemy believes that the resilient Iranian nation will surrender to their petty demands through such cowardly actions,” the council said in a statement published by the semiofficial Mehr news agency.
“The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have begun a crushing response to their malicious actions and will continuously keep the dear public informed,” the statement added.
The statement asked people to avoid crowding in shopping centers and noted that schools and universities will be closed until further notice, while banks will remain open and government offices will operate at 50% capacity.
