Senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Akbar Velayati, warned that any country participating in military actions against Iran would face a boomerang effect, IRNA reports.

“Any participation in military aggression against Iran will inevitably return to its participants like a boomerang,” Velayati said.

In his view, the Persian Gulf will become the center of retaliation. “The geography of the Persian Gulf cannot remain without consequences,” the senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader said.

He added that “events will inevitably occur” that will “damage those who threaten Iran’s national security.”
