Iran Warns US of Unlimited Response to Any New Bombing

lemonde.fr (French) [$] —

Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei warned the United States on Saturday of a "response without geographic limits" if new bombings occur, amid escalating Middle East tensions. The warning came during Khamenei's first publicly reported meeting with top military officials, including armed forces chief Ali Abdollahi, army head Amir Hatami, and Revolutionary Guards commander Ahmad Vahidi. He ordered updated target lists including "all material and immaterial assets" of the "American-Zionist enemy." The statement follows a February 28 war triggered by US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which killed Khamenei's father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. A Qatari delegation arrived in Tehran Friday for talks after Iran received a letter from US Vice President J.D. Vance, though Tehran has not yet responded.
