Iran warns US attack could trigger a wider regional conflict after a senior Iranian military official threatened retaliation against infrastructure across the Middle East if Washington targets Iranian facilities. The warning comes amid rising tensions between Tehran and the United States.
Brigadier General Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, issued the warning in a statement carried by Iranian state media. He said any US strike on Iranian infrastructure would be met with a forceful response.
According to Zolfaghari, if former US President Donald Trump follows through on his threats, Iran’s armed forces would target regional infrastructure. He claimed such attacks would leave “no trace” of the targeted facilities.
The statement reflects Tehran’s increasingly tough rhetoric as concerns grow over a possible military confrontation. Iranian officials have repeatedly warned that any attack on the country would receive a swift and broad response.
