Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the Islamic Republic will give a "crushing" response to the slightest threat against the country, PressTV reports.
The Iranian president made the remarks during separate phone calls with Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli and governor of the southwestern Iranian province of Khuzestan on Saturday, following a terrorist attack on a military parade in the provincial capital of Ahvaz.
"Those who are providing these terrorists with propaganda and intelligence support must be held accountable," Rouhani said.
He expressed his sympathy with the bereaved families of the victims of the terrorist attack and ordered Iranian officials to adopt immediate measures to treat the injured.
