Iran warns of strong retaliation against any attack, President Pezeshkian says

Tehran: After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Florida, US President Donald Trump issued a direct challenge to Iran. He said that if its behavior doesn't improve, the consequences will be very serious. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded via social media, claiming that Iran is prepared to give a "strong" response to any attack.

What warning did the Iranian President give?

Hours after US President Donald Trump's warning of a potential attack, President Masoud Pezeshkian posted his response on X without naming anyone. In just one sentence, he conveyed his message, claiming that "the aggressor will regret it." He wrote, "The Islamic Republic of Iran's response to any attack will be strong, and the aggressor will regret it."

Trump had threatened an attack

On Monday, when asked about Iran's missile and nuclear program after meeting with Netanyahu, Trump said that nothing has been confirmed yet, but if it is true, the consequences will be very dangerous. It's also possible that "the attack will be even stronger than the last time. Iran should have made a deal last time, and we gave them the opportunity, but that won't happen every time." US President Donald Trump warned that if Iran attempts to rebuild its ballistic missile or nuclear program, the US will launch another military attack against it.

The US is keeping a close eye on Iran's activities

Speaking to reporters, Trump said that Washington is closely monitoring Tehran's activities. When asked if the US would support an Israeli attack targeting Iran's missile program, he said they would fully support an attack immediately if Iran attempted to restart its nuclear capabilities. Trump and Netanyahu met at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. This was their fifth meeting this year.

US-Israel attacked Iran

On June 13, 2025, Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities, targeting military, nuclear, and residential areas for 12 consecutive days. Later, on June 22, the US attacked three Iranian nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. A ceasefire was declared 24 days later.
