  • Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Tehran had moved beyond proportional retaliation and would respond faster and more forcefully to any U.S. aggression.
  • Iran said its Revolutionary Guards had attacked U.S. targets, while U.S. Central Command reported disabling Iranian oil tankers and avoiding Iranian strikes.
  • Iranian officials also threatened economic retaliation and accused Washington of using artificial intelligence to fabricate images of battlefield victories.

Iran has warned the United States that any new attack will draw a response “faster, stronger and more painful,” as tensions rise after fighting around the Strait of Hormuz.

Parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said on Sept. 6 that Americans should understand that the era of proportional retaliation had ended. “Any aggression against Iran’s interests and security will face a faster, stronger and more painful response,” Iranian media quoted him as saying.

Ghalibaf also accused the United States of using artificial intelligence to create fake images and videos showing military victories over Iran. “U.S. leaders are in a desperate situation, forced to resort to clichés, slogans and artificial intelligence to create images and videos from the battlefield,” he said.

The warning came a day after Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it had launched attacks against U.S. targets, including a U.S. Navy drone and three oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran also said it had targeted a U.S. aircraft carrier, a destroyer and other American vessels in different areas.

The U.S. Central Command said its forces had “disabled” two Iranian oil tankers off Kharg Island and “completely destroyed” an empty Iranian crude-oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman. It said U.S. warships had successfully avoided Iranian attacks. Iran’s Foreign Ministry called the U.S. strikes “war crimes,” while IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebi said Tehran also intended to make Washington pay economically. “If the United States wants to cause Iran $1 in economic damage, it will cause itself many times more damage,” he said.
