Tehran, Iran – Web Desk: Iran has issued a stern warning to the United States and Israel, stating that further escalation in the ongoing conflict could make the entire Middle East “a hell” for their forces.
Spokesman Ibrahim Zolfaqari of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters emphasized that any additional aggression would be met with severe, widespread retaliation across the region. He described attempts to defeat Iran as a “quagmire,” warning that adversaries risk becoming trapped in their own military overreach.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated a 48-hour ultimatum for Iran to either negotiate a deal or reopen the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. The strait, a crucial artery for global oil trade, has remained closed since recent strikes on Iranian targets, raising concerns over international energy security.
Global analysts warn that any military escalation could severely impact regional stability and energy markets worldwide, intensifying international scrutiny.
