Tensions continue to rise in the Middle East after Iran issued a stern warning to the United States, promising "severe consequences" in response to the recent US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Iranian military spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaqari declared that the scope of legitimate targets for Iranian retaliation has now expanded, and that the US should prepare for harsh outcomes as a result of its aggression.
Iran's Foreign Minister sent a formal letter to UN Secretary-General António Guterres, urging the global body to immediately condemn what it described as a clear act of US military aggression.
While Tehran has stopped short of announcing direct retaliation, a top Iranian military commander stated that he is under no restriction to avoid targeting US interests, leaving open the possibility of a wider conflict.
The escalation between Iran and the US has triggered alarm among international observers, given its potential to destabilize the region and impact global energy markets, particularly if Iran follows through on threats to close the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil passage.
