Regional tensions have intensified following reports that U.S. President Donald Trump is considering options involving Iranian energy facilities, while senior Iranian figures have warned of a broad response if Iran comes under attack.
According to reports cited by Al Jazeera, discussions in Washington include potential actions involving Iran's energy infrastructure as security tensions continue to evolve across the region.
At the same time, Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of Iran's National Security Committee, said that opponents believe a rapid strike delivered while financial markets are closed could force Iran into submission, describing that belief as an illusion.
Rezaei warned that any military strike against Iran would trigger a wide-ranging response and said the consequences would extend across the region and its critical facilities.
He also urged against military action, arguing that launching such an attack would carry significant risks for regional stability and security.
Separately, media outlets circulated statements attributed to Iranian officials warning that a new military confrontation could affect vital regional infrastructure, underscoring the increasingly tense exchange of messages between the two sides.
The developments come as diplomatic efforts continue to seek de-escalation while governments, energy markets, and airlines closely monitor the rapidly changing security environment.
No official announcement has been made confirming that any new military operation has begun, and international attention remains focused on diplomatic efforts aimed at preventing a broader regional conflict.
