Khamenei Warns Any Iran-US Conflict Would Trigger Regional War
Iran’s supreme leader warned regional war could erupt if tensions with the United States escalate, as military deployments heighten fears across region.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warned on Sunday that any war triggered by rising tensions with the United States would spread across the region rather than remain limited.
Speaking in Tehran, Khamenei said Iran does not seek conflict but would respond forcefully to any attack, stressing that the Iranian people would resist external pressure.
He dismissed repeated US military threats, including deployments of naval forces, saying such actions would not intimidate Iran or influence public resolve.
Khamenei also described recent protests in Iran as attempts to destabilize the country, claiming authorities had successfully contained what he called a coup-like plot.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly warned Iran of severe consequences while reinforcing American military presence in the Middle East amid growing tensions.
Tensions between Washington and Tehran have sharply increased over regional security concerns, sanctions, and disputes surrounding Iran’s military and nuclear activities.
The United States recently deployed additional naval assets, including the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, aiming to deter threats and protect regional interests.
