Iran will defend itself 'regardless of the costs': Security chief Larijani

Iran's security chief on Monday said the Islamic republic would defend itself no matter the costs, on the third day of war with the United States and Israel.

"We will fiercely defend ourselves and our six thousand years old civilization regardless of the costs and will make the enemies sorry for their miscalculation," Ali Larijani, the powerful head of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, wrote in English in an X post.
