Iran vows to respond to US strikes 'with certainty,' military source says

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A senior Iranian military source said Iran will "certainly" retaliate for the U.S. attack on Iranian territory, warning that strikes against the United States would be escalated "exponentially." The source said Iran's armed forces would respond with "determination and force," as previously warned, and that U.S. interests and bases in the region would be exposed to Iranian attacks. According to the source, the United States was driven to "madness by defeat" and would face "compounding insults" with each new misstep. Iran said the U.S. would watch from below and "see itself humiliated in the sky." The warning follows U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of strikes on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz.
