Iran has issued a stern warning to the United States, particularly addressing former President Donald Trump, stating that any aggressive action against Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would provoke a strong retaliatory response and could lead to a wider regional conflict. Senior Iranian officials said that threats or actions targeting the country’s top leadership would be viewed as a direct attack on Iran’s sovereignty and national security, leaving Tehran with no option but to respond decisively.

The warning comes amid renewed tensions between Tehran and Washington, with Iranian leaders accusing the U.S. of escalating hostile rhetoric and interference. Iranian authorities emphasized that any miscalculation could destabilize the region, urging the United States to refrain from actions that could spark further confrontation. The statement reflects growing concern in Tehran over rising geopolitical pressures and highlights the fragile state of relations between the two longtime adversaries.
