On Monday, Iran threatened to retaliate against the United States following recent U.S. strikes targeting missile sites and Iranian vessels. The Iranian foreign ministry described these actions as a “gross violation” of the recent ceasefire that had endured for nearly seven weeks between the two nations.
Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a stern statement indicating that countries in the region could no longer serve as protective measures for U.S. military bases. His remarks expressed Iran’s intent to respond decisively to any acts perceived as hostile.
“Undoubtedly, the Islamic Republic of Iran will not leave any act of mischief unanswered and will not hesitate in defending the country’s integrity,” the foreign ministry emphasized.
Khamenei added in a message shared on Telegram: “The clock cannot be turned back, and the nations and lands of the region will no longer be a shield for American bases.” He concluded with a call to action for the Islamic nation and the oppressed worldwide.
The evolving situation indicates heightened tensions, and further developments are anticipated as more information becomes available.
