Senior Iranian official vows strongest retaliation as US naval strike group heads to region
Tehran, Iran | Web Desk: Iran has issued a stark warning that any attack on its territory will be treated as an “all-out war,” with promises to respond in the “hardest way possible.” The statement comes ahead of the deployment of a U.S. military aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East.
A senior Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated that Iran’s military is on high alert and ready for any “worst-case scenario.” He emphasized that any strike—whether limited, surgical, or kinetic—will provoke a full-scale response.
The official criticized U.S. threats, highlighting that repeated military pressure leaves Iran with no choice but to ensure readiness and maintain regional balance. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump confirmed the U.S. armada is en route but expressed hope it will not be used, while warning Tehran against harming protesters or advancing its nuclear program.
This latest warning comes amid escalating tensions in the Gulf region, with international observers closely monitoring military movements and Iran’s strategic responses.
