Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian has said his country’s answer to an attack would be harsh, in an apparent response to a warning by US president Donald Trump over reconstruction of Iran’s nuclear programme.

“Answer of Islamic Republic of Iran to any cruel aggression will be harsh and discouraging,” Mr Pezeshkian said on the social media platform X.
