Iran warns US against new strikes as fighting continues in Yemen
Iran says it has received information that the United States may be preparing a new round of military strikes, warning of retaliation "without limitations" as fighting continues in Yemen.
Iranian officials say they have obtained information suggesting that the United States could be preparing another round of military strikes against Iran. Tehran responded with a sharp warning, stating that any new attack would be met with retaliation described as being "without limitations."
The statement comes amid a tense regional security situation in which relations between the US and Iran have long been strained. The new warning signals that Tehran views the risk of renewed military confrontation as real and imminent rather than merely theoretical.
At the same time, Al Jazeera's ongoing live coverage of the war situation involving Iran notes that fighting continues in Yemen. That conflict is linked to broader regional tensions centered on Iran and forces allied with it.
No further details have been made public about the evidence or sources behind Iran's assessment that new US strikes may be planned. It is also currently unclear how Washington has responded to Tehran's warning, or whether US officials have commented on the claim.
The situation is being viewed as part of a wider, long-running confrontation that has affected the Middle East region for some time. Iran's warning adds to concerns about a possible further escalation of military tension between Iran and Western countries, including the United States, at a time when active military activity is already under way on several fronts in the region, including in Yemen.
