Tehran, Iran – Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has issued a stern warning to the United States, stating that any attack on Iran could spark a “regional war.” His statement comes as the US continues to amass military assets in the Middle East.
Speaking at a public event in downtown Tehran, Khamenei said, “They should know that if they start a war this time, it will be a regional war.” He emphasized that Iran is prepared to respond to any hostile military action.
The Supreme Leader’s remarks underline growing tensions between Tehran and Washington. Analysts say that Khamenei’s warning is a clear message that Iran views any US military action as a serious threat to regional stability.
