Iran Warns of Full-Scale War If Israel or US Attack Its Territory
A senior Iranian official issued a stark warning to Jerusalem and Washington amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. Speaking to Reuters, the official declared that any attack on Tehran or other major Iranian cities would be considered a formal declaration of war by Iran. The official emphasized that Iran would only launch a military response against Israel if it obtains clear and unequivocal intelligence proving Israel's direct involvement in attacks on Iranian soil.
In addition to threats against Israel, the Iranian official delivered a strong deterrent message to the White House. He warned that if US President Donald Trump orders strikes on Iran's strategic energy facilities or bridges, it would inevitably trigger a broad and comprehensive war across the Middle East. This warning comes as the US military reportedly begins a new wave of attacks targeting Iran.
The situation marks a peak in regional tensions, with Iran setting clear red lines for military engagement and signaling readiness to escalate if provoked by either Israel or the United States.
