Iran warns any adventurism will face immediate response

In a two-part social media post on X (formerly Twitter), Ali Akbar Velayati, a veteran Iranian diplomat and senior advisor to the Supreme Leader, issued a stern warning regarding the current escalation in the region. Velayati stated that Iran had previously warned that "the region is not a place for the political gambling of minor countries," adding that Tehran has repeatedly proven that any adventurism will be met with an immediate response.

Velayati placed full blame for the current escalation on Washington, following recent remarks by US President Donald Trump regarding the termination of the bilateral ceasefire agreement. He wrote, "The responsibility for the fresh tensions and the recent verbal admission to the cancellation of the agreement lies squarely with the open-road highwayman and an Epstein-linked policy that had already violated it practically numerous times."

He warned that these actions are once again pushing the region toward open conflict. The remarks come amid heightened tensions between Iran and the United States, with both sides exchanging threats. According to Mehr News, Velayati's statement underscores Iran's position that any aggressive move will be met with a swift and decisive response.
