According to Vanguard, Iran’s deputy foreign minister issued a stern warning to the United States on Thursday, cautioning against any direct involvement in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
The remarks come amid heightened regional tensions and growing concerns that the conflict could draw in other global powers.
According to Iranian state television, Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi made it clear that Tehran views any U.S. military support for Israel as a serious threat to Iran’s sovereignty and security.
“If the United States wants to actively enter the field in favour of the Zionist regime, Iran will have to use its tools to both teach a lesson to aggressors and defend its national security and national interests,” Gharibabadi declared.
His comments reflect Iran’s longstanding opposition to what it describes as Western support for Israel and its belief that such alliances threaten regional stability.
Gharibabadi emphasized that Iran is fully prepared to respond to any escalation, suggesting that military options are already being considered.
“Naturally, our military decision makers have all the necessary options on the table,” he said, implying that Iran’s response would be swift and decisive if provoked.
The warning highlights the risks of a broader confrontation in the Middle East, particularly if external powers become directly involved.
Iran’s strong rhetoric is aimed at deterring American intervention while reinforcing its own readiness for conflict.
The deputy foreign minister’s remarks suggest that Iran is drawing clear red lines regarding foreign involvement in the war, especially by the United States in support of Israel.
The international community is closely watching for any signs of escalation that could trigger a wider regional war, with Iran making clear it is prepared to act if its national interests are threatened.
