Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Army spokesman Hossein Mohibbi said Iran would respond many times over to attacks against the country.
"We will respond many times over to the slightest mistake by the enemy," Mohibbi said, adding that Iran would retaliate against attacks in kind.

Mohibbi argued that, under the current circumstances, it was impossible for the United States and Israel to conduct an effective operation against Iran. The Iranian official claimed that the two countries were aware of this situation, adding that they had been defeated by the Iranian people and would be defeated again if they repeated the same mistakes.
Commenting on statements by the United States and Israel regarding Iran, Mohibbi said the rhetoric was largely aimed at influencing domestic public opinion. Mohibbi also argued that the leaders of those countries resorted to such statements to protect their parties from election defeats.
