Iran warns of war expansion following US threats
Iranian officials have issued a formal warning that the 'geography of the war' would expand in response to any new United States military assault. This follows recent rhetoric from US President Donald Trump, who threatened to 'blow the entire nation up' after Tehran warned of 'painful strikes' against US interests. Iran claims it has identified new targets and has weapons systems prepared for potential escalation in the ongoing confrontation.
