February 02, 2026

IRAN'S supreme leader has warned the United States that if “they start a war, this time it will be a regional war”.

The comments from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, reported by Iranian state television yesterday, are the most direct threat he has made so far. The report added that 86-year-old Ayatollah Khamenei said: “We are not the instigators and we do not seek to attack any country, but the Iranian nation will deliver a firm blow to anyone who attacks or harasses it.”

The comments were made as tensions are high in the Middle East as US President Donald Trump ponders a possible military strike against Iran.
