Iran Warns of Instant Retaliation Amid US Extension Truce
The statement was made by Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, who referenced what he described as repeated threats from US President Donald Trump and American military officials.
Zolfaghari said, “Our capable and powerful forces have long been in a state of 100% readiness and are ready and on the trigger,” adding that in the event of “aggression and any action against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” Iranian forces would “immediately and powerfully attack pre-determined targets.”
The remarks were issued amid heightened regional tensions and followed recent US statements regarding the ongoing ceasefire arrangement with Iran.
Earlier, Trump announced that the United States would extend the ceasefire following a request from Pakistani officials. He also confirmed that the US naval blockade on Iranian ports would remain in effect.
Trump stated that he had instructed the US military to continue the blockade and maintain readiness while extending the ceasefire until Iran submits what he described as a “unified proposal.”
The exchange of warnings reflects rising tensions between Washington and Tehran as diplomatic efforts continue alongside military posturing in the region.
