Iran warns US attack response will extend beyond Persian Gulf

An Iranian lawmaker has issued a stern warning, stating that the country's retaliation against any potential United States attack would not be confined to the Persian Gulf region.

Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, declared via the platform X that Iran would retaliate against all enemy bases and strike at the source of any aggression, regardless of its origin. This statement escalates the rhetoric amid ongoing regional tensions.

“

Our response to the potential attack of the enemy will not be limited to the Persian Gulf region.

Senior Iranian leaders had previously cautioned against attacking Iran's energy infrastructure, threatening to target oil and gas facilities throughout the Gulf in response. Rezaei specifically addressed what he perceived as a misconception by the US, suggesting that Washington believed it could deliver a swift and devastating blow to Iran, forcing a surrender within two days while markets were closed.

We will retaliate against all enemy bases and to the point of origin of the attack from wherever it may be.

Rezaei dismissed this notion as an illusion, allegedly whispered to President Donald Trump by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a recent visit to Washington D.C. The lawmaker added a stark warning: "If an attack is carried out against Iran, we will return the entire region and its facilities to the Stone Age. For your own best interests, you should not act foolishly."

The comments reflect Iran's determination to project a strong deterrent posture, emphasizing that any military action against the country would trigger a widespread and severe response, potentially destabilizing the entire region.
