Iran has issued a fresh warning to the United States, vowing a swift and powerful response to any military aggression following renewed threats from U.S. President Donald Trump, escalating fears of a broader regional conflict.
Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, said the country’s armed forces are fully prepared to respond “immediately and powerfully” to any potential attack on Iranian territory, citing lessons learned from previous confrontations, including last year’s Israel-Iran conflict and U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear-related sites
The warning follows Trump’s announcement that a U.S. naval “armada” is moving toward Iran, alongside renewed pressure on Tehran to return to negotiations over its nuclear programme. Trump urged Iran to “make a deal” and reiterated his administration’s demand that the country abandon any nuclear weapons ambitions, warning that future attacks could be more severe than previous military actions
In response, Iran’s Mission to the United Nations said Tehran remains open to dialogue based on mutual respect but cautioned that it would carry out “unprecedented retaliation” if provoked. The mission referenced past U.S. military engagements in the Middle East, warning Washington against repeating costly strategic mistakes
Iranian officials argue that Western threats undermine diplomatic efforts and fuel instability across the Middle East, particularly at a time when regional tensions remain high due to ongoing conflicts and geopolitical rivalries.
The standoff has intensified global concerns over energy security, regional stability, and the possibility of direct military confrontation between Tehran and Washington, with analysts warning that any escalation could have far-reaching economic and humanitarian consequences.
