Iran warns US against launching new attacks

Iran’s military has warned that it will launch sustained retaliatory strikes against US bases and interests in the Middle East if Washington resumes military operations against Tehran.

In a statement issued late Sunday by Iran’s Central Military Command, the military said it had received information indicating that the United States was preparing to resume military operations against Iran with the support of some regional countries.

Iran’s warning

Tehran said any new US attacks would trigger long-term retaliatory measures by Iran. The statement identified US bases and American interests in the Middle East as possible targets.

The statement was issued as part of live updates on the conflict in the Middle East. US military facilities and interests in the region have previously been cited by Iranian officials as potential targets amid heightened regional tensions. The Middle East hosts a network of US bases and military installations supporting Washington’s regional operations.
