On June 15, Iran warned that it would take firm measures in response to any act of aggression by the United States or Israel. The statement came as tensions between Iran and the two Western allies continued to escalate.
An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said: "Iran will not stand idle in the face of any act of aggression. We will respond forcefully and resolutely." The spokesperson also accused the United States and Israel of seeking to exert pressure and destabilize the region.
Previously, US and Israeli officials had repeatedly hinted at the possibility of military action targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, though no specific decision has been made. Washington and Tel Aviv have not commented on Tehran's latest statement.
Analysts say tensions could continue to rise in the coming period, while the international community calls on all parties to exercise restraint and resolve differences through dialogue.
