Iran warned that the United States made a 'big mistake' and that the response will be 'sharp and disproportionate,' according to an Iranian statement. The warning did not specify a trigger or target.
Iran issued a statement late Wednesday warning that the United States had made a 'big mistake' and that the Islamic Republic's response would be 'sharp and disproportionate.' The warning, carried by Iranian state-linked channels, did not specify what action triggered the threat or what form the response might take. The statement comes amid a months-long cycle of escalation between Washington and Tehran, including the US military's recent condemnation of an Iranian attack on a vessel, IRGC threats of wider conflict, and reported US strikes on Iranian targets. The Zioneer has previously reported on multiple exchanges of threats and limited strikes between the two sides.
