An Iranian lawmaker has publicly challenged the U.S. administration over its ability to distinguish legitimate military targets, following recent escalations in the Middle East. The lawmaker argued that Washington's failure to clearly identify what constitutes a lawful military objective has led to destabilizing actions and increased the risk of conflict.
Speaking to the media, the lawmaker emphasized that U.S. military strikes or pressures in the region lack the necessary precision, impacting not only Iran's security but also threatening regional peace. He stated that Washington should reconsider its strategy instead of continuing actions that could be seen as provocative.
The remarks come amid long-standing tensions between Tehran and Washington, particularly over Iran's nuclear program and U.S. military activities in the Gulf. The lawmaker also warned that without a change in the U.S. approach, the risk of unintentional incidents remains high.
There has been no official response from the U.S. side to the criticism so far. Analysts suggest the statement reflects deep Iranian concerns over recent U.S. military operations in the region and serves as a call for international action to de-escalate tensions.
