Iran Claims US Preparing New Military Strikes

Iran's "Khatam al-Anbiya" headquarters, affiliated with the Iranian armed forces, has announced that the United States is preparing to resume military operations against the Islamic Republic. According to the statement, the U.S. aims to cover up its perceived failures and achieve "imaginary successes" in a conflict it claims was initiated based on "lies and fabrications by Zionists" and is perpetuated through "deception and trickery." Tehran alleges that Washington has secured approval from several unnamed regional countries for this new military campaign.

Iran has issued a direct warning to any regional states that might support a potential U.S. aggression, stating that "none of the states that support the new U.S. aggression will be able to count on restraint or nobility from the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran." This implies that any involvement in a new American operation against Iran could be considered grounds for retaliation.

However, the Iranian military's assertion about impending U.S. attacks currently lacks independent confirmation. The article notes that this announcement comes amid a recent U.S. warning to its citizens in the Middle East. The U.S. embassies in Jerusalem, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, and Lebanon issued alerts due to the escalating conflict between Iran-backed Houthis and Saudi forces.

Americans were advised to exercise "increased vigilance" and prepare for potential disruptions such as flight cancellations and airspace closures, with the warning specifically mentioning that the military conflict "could escalate rapidly." The article speculates whether this U.S. advisory is linked to broader U.S. plans for a new phase of regional conflict, though the U.S. has not officially announced any preparations for new operations against Iran.
