Iran will respond firmly if US becomes directly involved in Israeli strikes, says UN ambassador

GENEVA: Iran has conveyed to Washington that it will respond firmly to the United States if it becomes directly involved in Israel’s military campaign, the Iranian ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva said on Wednesday. Ali Bahreini told reporters that he saw the US as “complicit in what Israel is doing.” Iran would set a red line, and respond if the United States crosses it, he said, without specifying what actions would provoke a response. Israel launched an air war on Friday after saying it had concluded Iran was on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon.
