Iran’s IRGC warns even a limited military strike would bring retaliation several times greater; Trump says he knows nothing of an envoy’s weekend-strike suggestion

A spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned that the country’s armed forces were prepared to respond to any military action, including a limited strike, with retaliation several times greater. The spokesman dismissed threats of an effective operation against Iran as lacking weight.

The remarks came as U.S. President Donald Trump said he knew nothing about a suggestion by an envoy regarding potential strikes over the weekend.
