Senior Iranian Source Warns Future Response Would Be 'Dozens of Times Greater'

An unnamed senior Iranian source said Tehran would respond to any further US attacks with force 'dozens of times greater' than prior strikes, following the US strike on Larak Island and Iran's retaliatory drone and missile attacks on bases in Jordan and the UAE.

Why this matters. An explicit Iranian threat of disproportionate escalation raises the odds of a rapid tit-for-tat spiral that could draw in additional US bases and Gulf states beyond Jordan and the UAE.
