Iran will respond to any further threats, Iranian Foreign Ministry Sokesman Abbas Mousavi said in televised remarks, hours after Trump said Washington would target Iranian sites if Tehran attacks Americans or US assets in retaliation for the killing of Soleimani.
"We will not remain silent against any threat," Mousavi said, adding that Iran is not pursuing war, but is "prepared".
"These actions were against all international laws … the international community should come together against this heinous act."
Mousavi also said that officials in Iran planned to meet on Sunday night to discuss the next steps in exiting the 2015 nuclear deal with world powers and that it would be even bigger than initially planned.
In 2018, the US unilaterally withdrew from the accord and reimposed sanctions.

Iran has once again summoned Swiss envoy over Trump's threat to target 52 Iranian sites.
