Iran Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned that any United States attack could trigger a wider regional war. His remarks followed reports of increased US warship deployments in the region which Tehran views as provocative. The statement marked one of his most direct warnings amid rising tensions.
Iranian officials accused Washington of escalating military pressure while insisting that Iran seeks to defend its sovereignty. Regional analysts said such rhetoric reflects heightened risk of miscalculation in an already volatile environment. Neighboring countries have urged restraint calling for diplomatic engagement.
International observers noted that continued military signaling increases uncertainty in the Middle East. Diplomats stressed the need for communication channels to prevent unintended escalation. The warning highlights the fragile security balance and the potential global implications of further confrontation.
