Iran Threatens US with New Strikes if It Attacks Iranian Ships
Iran has issued a direct threat against the United States, warning of new strikes if the US continues to attack Iranian ships. The statement comes amid heightened tensions in the region, with Iran accusing the US of ongoing harassment. The warning follows recent incidents involving US naval activity near Iranian interests.
Iranian officials have stated that any further attacks on Iranian vessels by US forces will result in a proportional response. The threat was reported by RIA Novosti, which cited Iranian military sources. Ynetnews also reported the same threat, though it emphasized the US's 'harassing' actions as the trigger for potential escalation. Both outlets agree on the core message but differ slightly in phrasing.
