Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Majotaba Khamenei issues a written warning to the United States, vowing to deliver “unforgettable lessons.” The message is broadcast on Iranian state television. The warning comes after U.S. Central Command reports two U.S. service members are killed in an attack on a military base in Jordan, with an additional troop reported missing.
Multiple outlets describe the exchange as part of a broader escalation between Washington and Tehran. They report that about a month earlier the two sides signed a preliminary deal intended to ease the conflict, but that the agreement is now abandoned. According to the accounts, Iran retaliates for what it describes as intensifying U.S. attacks by striking targets across the Gulf region.
The outlets cite claims from Gulf-area authorities that Iranian actions include damage to infrastructure, including an airport, a railway station, bridges, and an oil facility in Kuwait. In addition, they reference reported strikes affecting a power and water plant in Kuwait. Overall, the coverage frames Khamenei’s threat as a response to the recent violence and as part of continued hostilities between the two countries.
