Iran says response to any future US attack will be ‘asymmetric,’ ‘multi-layered’

Iran’s response to any future US attack will be “asymmetric” and “multi-layered” as the recent US attacks had changed Tehran’s security calculations and defense doctrine, First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said Thursday.

“The recent US crimes against the Iranian nation have changed our security calculations and defense doctrine. From now on, our response will be asymmetric, multi-layered and aimed at depriving the aggressor of security,” Aref said in a post through US social media company X.

He also warned of economic consequences for Washington.

“The Americans should think about stockpiling gasoline and fuel; dark months await the American economy,” he said.
