Iranian officials threatened the United States by saying the regime would respond after Washington launched airstrikes targeting the Houthis in Yemen over the past weekend.

“I warn all enemies that any threat being carried out [against Iran] will draw a tough, decisive, and devastating reaction,” Gen. Hossein Salami, head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, told Iranian state media outlet Tasnim News on March 16 after U.S. strikes were conducted against the Houthis, a terrorist group that is believed to be backed by Iran.
