Iran threatened the United States with “consequences” after Washington carried out airstrikes against an Iran-backed militia in Iraq, which came after the designated terrorist group killed an American defense contractor during strikes of its own.
The United States “has demonstrated its decisive support for terrorism and disregard for the independence and sovereignty of nations by launching these attacks, and it must accept the responsibility for the consequences of such illegal measures,” claimed Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mosavi, reported the state-run Tasnim News agency.
