Iranian parliament security chair warns war will not be limited to the region

Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian parliament's national security committee, said Iran is unafraid to fight 'the losers' and warned that this time the conflict will not be limited to the region, according to statements reported on Iranian state-aligned channels. The threat comes amid ongoing US strikes on Iran and President Trump's announcement of a secret mission securing the Strait of Hormuz.

Ebrahim Azizi, chair of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy committee, issued the warning in a series of statements carried by Iranian state-aligned channels on the evening of June 10. He asserted that US casualties are already far higher than President Trump acknowledges and that the figure will continue to rise. 'This time, the war will not be limited to the region,' Azizi said. 'We'll see what happens.' The threat is the latest in a rapid escalation between Washington and Tehran. As The Zioneer reported on June 10, President Trump disclosed a secret US mission that secured the Strait of Hormuz for over 200 commercial vessels and claimed 100 million barrels of oil transited safely. Hours earlier, Trump declared an end to the ceasefire and vowed 'very hard' strikes on Iran. US forces have been targeting Iranian air defense and radar systems near the Strait of Hormuz since June 9, in an operation the Pentagon calls 'Epic Fury.' Azizi's statement is the strongest public warning by an Iranian official in the current cycle, signaling Tehran's expectation that any further US strikes will draw a wider response. The Iranian Foreign Ministry has previously accused the US of deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, but no statement from the ministry appears in the available sources for this bulletin. The claim about US casualties being higher than acknowledged remains an unverified assertion by Azizi, reported by a single source channel.
