Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh stated on Sunday that Tehran will respond forcefully and target all American interests and bases in the region if it comes under attack.

He emphasized that “we have no hostility towards neighboring countries, but American bases are targets for us if we are attacked.” He also noted that the “Qasem missile is resistant to electronic warfare and can bypass ballistic missile defense systems.”

Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel would respond to the Houthis and their Iranian supporters following a missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport.
