Iran vows response to strikes on residential areas

Iran vows response to strikes on residential areas Iran will respond to recent US-Israeli strikes in residential areas, Defapress quoted the armed forces spokesperson as saying on Wednesday, after the heaviest strikes on the country since the war started. Abolfazl Shekarchi also urged regional countries and fellow Muslims to indicate "US-Zionist hiding places" to maximise the precision and impact of Iranian strikes while minimising harm to civilians, who he said are "used as human shields".
