Iran: If attacks on infrastructure do not stop, we will take similar measures

Iran has warned that it would respond in kind if strikes on its infrastructure continue.

The Khatam al-Anbiya military headquarters, affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said in a statement: “If attacks on Iranian infrastructure do not stop, similar measures will be taken.”

The statement added: “If the enemy can tolerate oil prices exceeding $200 per barrel, then let it continue this game.”

Earlier, Iranian state television said missiles carrying warheads weighing between 700 kilograms and one tonne were launched in the 28th wave of attacks.

It added that the latest salvo included new-generation multi-warhead missiles, including the Qadr, Emad, and Kheibar Shekan models.

According to the report, the Kheibar Shekan missile launched on Sunday has a range of about 1,450 kilometres and is capable of manoeuvring until the moment it hits its target.

State TV said the Kheibar Shekan missile had achieved the highest strike rate against Israel during previous waves of attacks.

It also said Iranian missiles are now hitting their targets more easily due to what it described as recent weaknesses in the enemy’s radar and defence systems.
