Iran's central military command issued a stark warning on Sunday, asserting that the Islamic Republic would respond with prolonged and sustained strikes against American military installations and interests should the United States resume offensive operations in the region.
The statement represents an escalation in rhetoric between the two adversaries, coming amid heightened tensions in the Middle East. Iranian military officials have made clear that any new American military action would not go unanswered, signalling a commitment to what Tehran describes as a measured but forceful response.
Beyond its direct warning to the United States, Iran's military establishment also cautioned other nations against providing logistical, military, or intelligence support to Washington. The message appears designed to deter regional allies and partners from facilitating any potential American operations.
The warning underscores the volatile security environment in the Middle East, where Iran and the United States have maintained a pattern of tit-for-tat military posturing. Previous rounds of escalation have prompted international concern about the risk of broader regional conflict and its potential impact on global energy markets and stability.
