Iran vows ‘eye for an eye’ response to attacks on infrastructure: parliament speaker

Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf warned on Tuesday that any attack on the Islamic republic’s infrastructure would result in a tit-for-tat response.

“The enemy should know that whatever they do, undoubtedly it will have a proportionate and immediate response,” Ghalibaf wrote on X, more than a week into the Middle East war that began with US-Israeli strikes on Iran.

“We today go with the rule of ‘an eye for an eye’, without compromise, without exception,” he said. “If they start a war on infrastructure, we will undoubtedly target infrastructure.”
