Iranian military leaders have issued harsh warnings against the U.S. following President Donald Trump’s threats, vowing a more forceful retaliation if Iran’s interests are attacked again.

Senior Iranian military officials on Saturday strongly warned that any renewed attack on Iran's interests would trigger a devastating response. The remarks follow recent threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, who criticized Iran’s Supreme Leader and warned of potential further strikes if uranium enrichment continues.

Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif, spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), dismissed Trump’s comments as “nonsense” and reflective of “a heavy defeat to Iran.” He warned that any future attack would be met with a “more crushing and destructive” retaliation, which he claimed could even hasten the collapse of the American government.

Earlier Saturday, Tehran held mass funeral processions for dozens of people—including top military commanders and nuclear scientists—killed in recent Israeli airstrikes during a 12-day Iran-Israel conflict that began on June 13.
