Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasir-Zadeh warned that Tehran 'will respond with force' if attacked by the US or Israel. 'If we are attacked and war is imposed on us, we will respond forcefully and strike enemy bases and interests,' he said. 'We have no hostility toward our neighbors, but American bases are targets for us if we are attacked.' He spoke while presenting a new missile called 'Qasem Basir,' claiming it is 'resistant to electronic warfare and can bypass ballistic missile defense systems.' According to him, the missile 'was developed based on experience gained during two 'True Promise' operations (the attacks against Israel).'
