Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Araghchi warned of a "devastating and severe" response if the US and Israel escalate hostilities, according to a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Araghchi reiterated that Iran's stance remains firm, emphasizing that American voters have already made their choice and the White House must now decide on its course.
The warning comes amid heightened tensions following recent diplomatic exchanges. Araghchi's remarks on X, formerly Twitter, underscore Iran's readiness to take decisive action if hostilities resume. The IRGC's statement highlights the potential for significant escalation, with Iran positioning itself to respond with force if attacked.
This follows a series of diplomatic overtures from Iran, including a two-day proposal to the US that remains under consideration. While the US has not yet responded, the Iranian government has maintained a posture of readiness, signaling a possible shift in regional dynamics. The situation reflects ongoing concerns over nuclear proliferation and regional security, with both sides preparing for potential conflict scenarios.
