Iran's military command has issued a chilling warning to the United States and regional allies, threatening sustained attacks on US bases and ships if a major new strike is launched. The warning comes amid escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington, with both sides accusing each other of planning further military actions.
Iran's main military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, stated that it has intelligence suggesting the US is planning to resume strikes against Iran with the support of certain regional countries. This intelligence was reportedly gathered from a recent meeting in Europe. The warning was delivered in a statement carried by Iranian media, emphasizing the potential for 'painful' retaliation.
In parallel, the US has redirected 109 commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically vital waterway, as tensions continue to rise. The movement of ships has declined sharply, reflecting the impact of the ongoing confrontation. Iran has also conveyed its conditions for reopening the Strait, which it has blockaded throughout the Middle East war.
The situation remains volatile, with both sides preparing for potential escalation. Iran's threats of retaliation are part of a broader pattern of military posturing, while the US continues to take defensive and strategic measures in response. The region remains under heightened alert as the conflict between the two powers continues to evolve.
