Iran's military command warned on Saturday that any further attacks on its bridges and power plants would trigger a significantly stronger response from its armed forces. Spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari said Iran would respond with 'overwhelming force' to continued escalation by the US and Israel. The warning came ahead of an April 6 deadline, with Iran threatening 'devastating strikes' against American and Israeli assets.
