The US State Department issued its strongest warning of the year to the Iranian regime, threatening a “crushing” military response if American interests are targeted, following intelligence reports of suspicious Iranian movements.
Direct warning to Tehran
In unusually blunt language, the State Department said: “We have said it before and we say it again: do not test President Trump.”
The statement reflects the administration’s “maximum pressure” policy during President Trump’s second term, aimed at deterring any miscalculations by Iranian leadership.
Intelligence reports on potential threats
The department cited sensitive security information indicating that Iran is reportedly preparing options to target US bases in the region.
The warning has triggered heightened alert levels among US forces deployed across the Middle East.
Threat of unprecedented force
The statement concluded with a stark warning: “If the regime in Tehran attacks American interests, it will face overwhelming force,” signaling the possibility of direct, unprecedented military strikes potentially reaching deep into Iranian territory.
