Iran Warns of Sustained Retaliation Against US Bases and Interests

TEHRAN (Terror Monitor) — Iran has warned the United States and its allies that any new major attack would trigger sustained retaliatory strikes against U.S. military bases and American interests across the region.

Iran’s military central command said in a statement carried by state media that it had received information indicating the United States was preparing for another attack. The command also warned that Washington’s allies in the region would be considered parties to the conflict and could face consequences if they become involved.

Iranian authorities did not provide further details about the reported preparations for a new U.S. attack or specify which American bases or interests could be targeted in response.

The warning came after the U.S. State Department issued a security alert on Saturday over the possibility of an unexpected escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The alert urged U.S. citizens in the region to exercise increased caution and be prepared for possible flight cancellations and the closure of airspace.

The latest Iranian warning comes as the conflict between the United States and Iran approaches its seventh month, with neither side appearing ready to accept the key compromises needed to bring the fighting to an end.

Iran has repeatedly warned that U.S. military facilities and American interests in the region could be targeted in response to further attacks. Tehran has also sought to deter U.S. allies from providing military or logistical support to Washington, warning that their involvement could make them part of the conflict.

The United States, meanwhile, has continued to issue security warnings to its citizens across the Middle East amid concerns that the ongoing confrontation could expand beyond the main areas of fighting.

The latest exchange of warnings underscores the continuing risk of further escalation, as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict remain unresolved and both sides maintain their military positions.
