Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said his regime would be prepared to retaliate against the United States if they “commit another crime,” delivering the remarks during a meeting after President Donald Trump called for a de-escalation hours after Tehran fired missiles at American forces in Iraq.

“No matter how much [America] threatens us, she must know that we will act decisively as we have already shown,” he said during a cabinet meeting, adding that American forces “will receive a stronger reaction,” according to CNN.
