Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have said any threat from the United States and Israel will be met with Tehran’s reciprocal response, Iranian state TV reported.

“Any threat by the United States and the Zionist regime originating from any country will result in a proportional and reciprocal response from Iran towards the origin of the threat,” the Guards said in a statement.

What did Israel expect? They literally bombed an Iranian embassy- which are considered inviolable under international law. If Iran dropped a bomb on a US embassy, killing 2 generals and a bunch of civilians, what do you think we'd do?

They wanted Iran to retaliate to force the US to get involved directly.
