Iran Warns US and Allies Against New Attack

Iran warned Sunday that it has information the United States and its allies are preparing a major new attack, threatening sustained retaliation against US bases and interests if it occurs. The warning, delivered via state media, said Washington's regional allies would be considered parties to any conflict. The US State Department issued a security alert Saturday citing potential for unforeseen escalation in the Middle East, urging Americans to exercise vigilance. The warning comes amid heightened regional tensions, including Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia and ongoing conflict that has disrupted global oil shipping through key straits. Iran said it will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until terms of a collapsed June ceasefire agreement are met.
