On October 12, Iran's Foreign Ministry issued an official statement, warning of a resolute response to any U.S. aggression, particularly activities alleged to violate the existing ceasefire agreement.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh emphasized, “Any aggressive act by the United States, including violating the ceasefire agreement, will face a strong and firm response from Iran.” The statement comes amid rising tensions between the two countries following reports of U.S. airstrikes targeting sites in border areas.
Iran also called on the international community to condemn U.S. actions and reaffirmed Tehran’s commitment to international ceasefire obligations. However, Washington dismissed the allegations, maintaining that its strikes were defensive measures against threats from Iran-aligned forces.
Analysts say the threat could escalate conflict in the Middle East, particularly given Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities and extensive regional influence. No specific details on Iran’s planned retaliation have been released.
