The government of Iran has issued a warning of retaliation against the United States following recent strikes on Monday. These attacks targeted missile sites and Iranian vessels, prompting a strong response from Iran’s foreign ministry. They labeled the U.S. actions as a ‘gross violation’ of the ceasefire that has been in place for nearly seven weeks.

Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei expressed that regional countries should no longer serve as a shield for American military bases. In the words of the foreign ministry, ‘Undoubtedly, the Islamic Republic of Iran will not leave any act of mischief unanswered and will not hesitate in defending the country’s integrity.’

Khamenei, in a statement on Telegram, declared, ‘The clock cannot be turned back, and the nations and lands of the region will no longer be a shield for American bases.’ He also proclaimed that the slogans ‘Death to America’ and ‘Death to Israel’ will continue to resonate among the Islamic nation and the oppressed globally, emphasizing youth support.

This situation is developing, and further information will be provided as it becomes available.
