Warning from Iran: Any strike on Tehran will be considered an 'act of aggression'

Tehran has warned that any attack on its territory will be deemed an 'act of aggression' amid increasing military pressure from Washington.

Tehran has issued a stern warning, stating that it will consider any attack on its territory, no matter how limited, as an 'act of aggression.' This declaration comes at a time when the American government, under President Donald Trump, is reportedly contemplating a limited military strike against Iran if negotiations do not progress swiftly. The heightened tension between the two nations arises from ongoing disputes about Iran's nuclear program and regional activities.

Responding to Trump’s statements where he mentioned the possibility of a limited military attack, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson reiterated that there is no such thing as a limited strike, declaring, "An act of aggression will be considered an act of aggression, period." This statement underscores Iran’s position on its sovereignty and national security, emphasizing that any form of military action against it will trigger a significant response, which may escalate the already strained relations between the two countries.

Given the historical context of U.S.-Iran relations, the possibility of military engagement raises concerns not just for the involved parties but also for regional stability in the Middle East. The implications of a military strike could lead to a broader conflict, affecting various stakeholders and possibly drawing in allies and adversaries, which highlights the delicate balance of power in the region and the need for diplomatic solutions to prevent escalation.
