Iran has issued a stern warning to the international community, declaring that any military strike against it would trigger sweeping retaliation across the region, with all bases, facilities and assets of the “hostile force” becoming legitimate targets.
In a strongly worded letter addressed to the United Nations Security Council, Tehran stated that it would not hesitate to respond decisively if attacked, warning that the consequences would be “unpredictable and uncontrolled.”
The letter, submitted by Iran’s mission to the United Nations, underscored what it described as its inherent right to self-defence under international law. It cautioned that any aggression would not go unanswered, particularly if it involved foreign military installations operating within the region.
Iran further declared that the United States would bear “full and direct responsibility” for any escalation resulting from such an attack, a statement likely to heighten diplomatic friction between Washington and Tehran.
Security analysts say the message signals a sharp escalation in rhetoric at a time of already fragile regional stability. Military bases and strategic assets across the Middle East could find themselves at the centre of heightened alert as tensions simmer.
The development comes amid growing geopolitical strain, with global powers closely watching moves that could tip the region into broader confrontation.
Diplomatic observers at the United Nations describe the letter as both a warning and a strategic signal, urging de-escalation while simultaneously outlining the potential cost of conflict.
As world leaders weigh their next steps, fears of a wider crisis loom large, with the stakes extending far beyond the immediate actors involved.
