Iran's First VP Aref Warns of 'Asymmetric,' 'Multi-Layered' Response, Says US Should 'Stockpile Gasoline'

Iran's First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said on Sept 3 that the US strikes of the past week have permanently changed Tehran's 'security equations and defense doctrine,' warning that Iran's future response will be 'asymmetric,' 'multi-layered,' and 'security-depriving for the aggressor.' Writing on X, Aref added: 'The Americans should start thinking about stockpiling gasoline and fuel. Dark months await the American economy' — a reference to the Strait of Hormuz blockade's effect on global fuel supply.
