Iran is entering the third phase of its conflict with the United States and Israel, said Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic Kazem Gharibabadi.
The first two phases, he said, were the 12-day war with Israel last summer and the mass protests that have continued in the republic since the end of December.
The Islamic Republic's mission to the UN warned that Tehran would respond “as never before” in the event of a new US strike.
