Iran’s central military command announced Sunday that it has received intelligence indicating the United States is preparing to resume military actions against Tehran, with the backing of several regional nations.
In a statement broadcast by state media, the Iranian military delivered a stark warning to both Washington and its regional allies. Key points from the announcement include:
-
Threat of Sustained Retaliation: Any US attack will trigger prolonged and sustained strikes against American military bases and interests across the Middle East.
-
Regional Allies Implicated: Any neighboring countries that facilitate or support US aggression will be officially considered active parties to the conflict. The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters stated these nations would be viewed as complicit and should not expect restraint from Iran’s armed forces.
The military’s statement coincides with heightened geopolitical maneuvering. US President Donald Trump unexpectedly cut short a weekend trip to Camp David to return to the White House on Saturday. Meanwhile, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf reiterated on Sunday that Tehran will not reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz until its specific conditions are met and US commitments are fully implemented. Ghalibaf emphasized that Iran intends to simultaneously utilize military force to push back adversaries and diplomacy to consolidate its position.
The renewed warnings follow a breakdown in framework negotiations over the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and come amid an ongoing deadlock following earlier US-Israeli strikes on Iran.
