Iran warns of “comprehensive” response to any attack, affirms strong ties with Russia, China

• Iran warns it will deliver a comprehensive response to any attack, while reaffirming strong strategic ties with Russia and China.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said on Monday that Iran would deliver a “comprehensive and regret-inducing response” to any attack against the country, stressing Tehran’s confidence in its military and strategic capabilities.

Baghaei said the Islamic Republic has drawn lessons from past confrontations, particularly the June battle, and is now “stronger than ever.”

Warning of Escalation

“Iran trusts its capabilities and keeps past experiences in mind, especially the experience of the June confrontation,” Baghaei said. “Today, the Islamic Republic is stronger than at any time before.”

He warned that any aggression against Iran would be met with a full-scale response, underscoring Tehran’s readiness to defend its sovereignty.

Accusations of Hybrid Warfare

The Iranian spokesperson accused the United States and 'Israel' of waging what he described as a “hybrid war” aimed at destabilizing security in the region.

According to Baghaei, these efforts combine military, political, and psychological pressure intended to undermine Iran and its regional role.

Relations with Russia and China

Baghaei also reaffirmed Iran’s long-term strategic agreements with Russia and China, saying they will continue “with strength.”

He stressed that Iran’s relations with both countries are based on mutual respect and shared interests, adding that these partnerships remain a key pillar of Tehran’s foreign policy.

Regional Context

The remarks come amid heightened regional tensions, as Iran seeks to project deterrence while strengthening alliances with Russia and China in the face of what it describes as ongoing external threats.
