Iran warns US of unlimited retaliation over possible new strikes

Tehran announced on Thursday that it has received intelligence indicating the United States is preparing a new series of airstrikes against Iranian interests, and warned that any such attacks would be met with retaliation “without limitations.” The statement, issued by the Iranian foreign ministry, said the information was obtained from “reliable sources” and reflected a “clear intent” by Washington to intensify military pressure in the region.

Iran’s warning comes amid heightened tensions following recent U.S. drone and missile strikes on facilities linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard in Iraq and Syria, as well as ongoing disputes over Tehran’s nuclear program and sanctions relief negotiations. U.S. officials have not confirmed any imminent operation, but have reiterated that they remain prepared to act against perceived threats. Iranian authorities emphasized that any response would be proportionate to the scale of the attack and would target all relevant U.S. and allied assets, underscoring the risk of further escalation in an already volatile Middle‑East environment.
