- Iran's army warned that the war in West Asia would widen if the United States chose to press ahead with attacks on the Islamic republic.
- Mohammad Akraminia, army spokesman, stated that if the Americans continue the war through air strikes, geographically this will expand further.
Iran's army has issued a stark warning that the ongoing conflict in West Asia could escalate significantly if the United States resumes its military actions against the Islamic Republic.1
Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia emphasized the dangers of falling for what he termed the Zionists' deception, stating, "If the Americans once again fall for the Zionists’ deception, or move in line with them, and insist on continuing the war, particularly through air strikes, geographically this will expand further," during an interview with state television.2
This warning comes as the U.S. military has paused its airstrikes on Iran after nearly two weeks of escalating bombing, which had raised fears of a broader conflict.
The U.S. Central Command confirmed that the naval blockade against Iran remains in full effect, indicating ongoing tensions in the region.
As diplomatic efforts continue to avert a return to all-out war, the situation remains precarious, particularly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu set to visit Washington, potentially influencing U.S. policy towards Iran.
“Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia stated that if the U.S. continues air strikes, the conflict will geographically expand further. This warning comes ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington, raising tensions in the region.”
