Iran warning intensifies as Tehran’s top operational command issued a stern message to the United States, Israel, and their regional allies. The warning comes amid ongoing attacks on Iranian infrastructure, signaling Tehran’s resolve to defend national assets.
The announcement came from the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters on Tuesday. This body coordinates operations between Iran’s Army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari, a spokesperson, stated that Iran will target the infrastructure of the US and its allies. He warned that such operations could deprive these nations of the region’s oil and gas for years.
The Iran warning follows a series of repeated attacks on Iranian facilities. Recent incidents targeted petrochemical plants, bridges, and railway lines. These attacks have occurred since February 28, as part of what Tehran calls unprovoked aggression by the United States and Israel. In addition, the warning responds to U.S. President Donald Trump’s deadline demanding Iran reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Iran has firmly rejected any form of submission. The leadership emphasized that the country will only accept a complete end to hostilities. In line with this stance, Iran’s Armed Forces have carried out a 99th wave of retaliatory strikes against sensitive targets associated with the U.S. and Israel. This latest phase marked the first time the IRGC fired missiles from twin launch systems during reprisals.
According to Zolfaqari, the wave of operations will continue with even greater intensity. He emphasized the strikes target military, security, and economic infrastructure linked to the so-called Zionist regime and centers associated with the United States in the region. Analysts note that Iran warning reflects Tehran’s strategy to increase deterrence and pressure its adversaries diplomatically and militarily.
Experts also warn that continued escalation could disrupt energy markets and regional trade routes. The Strait of Hormuz remains critical, as nearly one-fifth of global oil passes through it. Consequently, any prolonged disruption may affect global oil prices and energy security.
Iran has indicated that operations will expand if attacks persist. Diplomats suggest potential negotiations remain possible, but only if foreign powers reduce hostilities. Meanwhile, the Iran warning underscores Tehran’s readiness to defend its strategic interests.
