Iran warns the United States and its allies against resuming hostile actions, saying it is ready to strike strategic assets and infrastructure across the Gulf region. Tehran’s statement from the Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters accuses the U.S. of seeking “false gains” from the war and characterizes recent actions as based on deception.
Iran also says American positions and interests would be targeted through “sustained, effective and painful attacks,” without limits, and it warns that neighboring countries aligning with U.S.-linked aggression could be treated as accomplices. The reports add that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards say they tracked and destroyed a U.S. MQ-1 drone over the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.
The U.S. side described in the articles points to uncertainty and potential escalation. President Donald Trump tells Fox News that “very big things” could happen soon and that he is in a “deciding mode” over whether to pursue prolonged military action, economic pressure, or a deal. The U.S. Virtual Embassy in Iran advises citizens to leave promptly, citing potential flight disruptions and airspace closures, with one account also referencing broader regional tensions involving the Houthis and Saudi Arabia.
