According to Anadolu Agency, Iran issued a stark warning to the United States and Israel on Tuesday, vowing to open new fronts across the region if the two allies carry out additional strikes on Iranian territory, amid persistently high tensions following a Feb. 28 attack.
Senior commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stated that any renewed military action would be met with a multi-front response, potentially mobilizing Tehran’s network of allied armed groups across Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. The warning marks an escalation in rhetoric, signaling that Iran is prepared to widen any conflict beyond its borders.
Regional tensions have remained high since US and Israel launched strikes against Iran on Feb. 28, an operation Tehran says targeted military infrastructure.
