A military source told Tasnim News Agency that Iran has shifted its strategy, signalling a move beyond a policy of proportional retaliation.
The source said Tehran now intends to raise the cost of any attack, warning that future responses will be broader and more damaging.
"The enemy must have realized by now that if they attack one infrastructure, we will attack several of their infrastructures; if they attack a refinery or gas facility, we will attack several similar facilities and teach them a crushing lesson."
The source added: "Iran responds to every mistake of the enemy with surprise and sets their interests on fire."
