Iran says it will respond ‘with firmness’ after Sirik attack Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said on Tuesday that Iran will respond "with firmness" to the lastest round of US strikes on the country, despite US President Donald Trump's warnings that Iran would be "totally wiped out" if it attempts to retaliate. "The United States’ catalogue of atrocities against the nation of Iran is now complete: a residential home in Kuhestak, Sirik, was brutally attacked tonight while families were celebrating a wedding. More than 50 innocent men, women and children were martyred or wounded," Baqaei wrote in a post to X. Baqaei also criticised governments and international institutions that remain silent or seek to justify such attacks, saying "their silence is not neutrality" and warning that those who remain silent "will not be immune to its consequences tomorrow".
