Iran has issued a formal warning of full-scale retaliation as US military deployments in the Middle East intensify. Tehran’s leadership has placed defense forces on heightened alert, preparing for the possibility of extreme scenarios. A senior Iranian official declared that any attack whether “limited”, “surgical” or “kinetic”, would be treated as an all-out war, and the response would be unprecedented and severe. This statement comes amid rising regional tensions following US-backed Israeli operations in June. In response, the United States has moved major naval assets, including the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln with escorting destroyers, signaling a strategic posture of deterrence. President Trump confirmed the deployment, stating the fleet is positioned “just in case”, leaving the door open for potential military action if Iran escalates. WATCH
