TEHRAN, Iran (MANDYNEWS) — Iran issued a stern warning to the United States, urging it to “step aside” as the Islamic Republic readies a response to the suspected Israeli assault on its consulate in Syria.
The revelation came from the Iranian president’s deputy chief of staff for political affairs, who shared the message via social media.
Although the US purportedly requested Iran to refrain from targeting American interests, official confirmation regarding Iran’s alleged message remains unavailable from US authorities.
According to CNN, heightened vigilance prevails within the US, anticipating a “significant” retaliatory move from Iran, potentially targeting Israeli or American assets across the region.
In response to escalating tensions, Hezbollah, Iran’s primary proxy in the Middle East, has issued a stark warning to Israel, asserting its readiness for combat.
While Iran has pledged to administer a decisive blow to Israel, the precise nature of the retaliation—whether direct or orchestrated through proxy factions like Hezbollah—remains shrouded in ambiguity.
