Iran said that regional allies would be considered parties to the conflict.
Iran’s military central command said any new attack would be met with retaliation against US bases and interests, while Washington’s regional allies would be considered parties to the conflict. Trump said Iran would face severe consequences if it did not agree to a deal, including economic collapse or attacks on its leadership and warned that “very big things” could happen. Saudi Arabia did not immediately comment on the claims, while a Saudi-led coalition said it had foiled other attacks. Iran has continued to block most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and said it would not reopen the waterway until the terms of a June ceasefire agreement, as Tehran interprets them, are met.
The warning came amid mounting tensions with US President Donald Trump, later, also issuing a fresh warning to Tehran. The nearly seven-month-old US-Iran war has already disrupted energy supplies and shipping across the region.
