Iran Issues Warning to US Amid Rising Regional TensionsSun 1st Feb, 2026Amid heightened concerns over the potential for military conflict in the Middle East, Iran's highest leadership has issued a strong warning to the United States, cautioning that any military action could escalate into a broader regional confrontation. The statement comes as tensions continue to rise following repeated threats of military strikes against Iran from the US government. Qatar has previously acted as an intermediary between Iran and the United States, given its strong diplomatic ties with both nations. On the military front, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) had scheduled a naval exercise in the Gulf of Oman, with previous reports indicating possible participation from Russia and China. Iranian lawmakers expressed their protest by donning Revolutionary Guard uniforms and chanting slogans against the US and Israel within parliament.
