Iran issued a statement Monday evening accusing the United States of expanding the war in the region through its recent actions, according to a report by ynet. The statement, attributed to Iranian officials, did not specify which US operations it referred to.
The US military campaign against Iran has been ongoing since early June, with multiple waves of airstrikes targeting Iranian air defense systems, military infrastructure, and other strategic assets, as The Zioneer has reported. The strikes have been the largest direct US military operation against Iran in decades.
Tehran has consistently condemned the strikes as a violation of its sovereignty and has warned of retaliation. The latest statement reinforces that position, though it remains unclear whether it signals any change in Iranian operational posture or is primarily a rhetorical response.
The United States has not publicly responded to the Iranian statement.
