Iran Warns of All-Out War
A big official in Iran said that if the US or anyone else tries to attack them, they will treat it as a very serious war.
They said their military is ready for the worst and will fight back very hard.
This is because they think there might be a big military buildup happening, and they want to make sure everyone knows they are prepared.
The official spoke to a news agency called Reuters and said that any kind of attack, no matter how small, will be treated as a full-scale war.
The US has been sending military assets to the Middle East, including an aircraft carrier group and destroyers, as President Donald Trump indicates he is maintaining the possibility of strikes on Iran amid its crackdown on protests.
Iran issued its strongest warning yet in response to perceived US military buildup.
A senior Iranian official stated that any attack will be treated as an all-out war.
Iran's military is on high alert and ready for the worst-case scenario.
The official spoke anonymously to Reuters on Friday.
Iran pledged the hardest possible response to any potential attack.
