Tensions Ignite: Iran Swears Retaliation After US Strikes; Trump Fuels Regime Change Talk
Iran vows to strike back after U.S. joins Israeli attacks, raising fears of a broader conflict
- Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei vows retaliation after U.S. joins Israel’s attacks on Iranian targets
- President Trump suggests regime change if Iran’s leadership fails to “make Iran great again.”
- The conflict has caused hundreds of deaths on both sides
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has vowed to punish “the Zionist enemy” in his first statement following the U.S. joining Israel’s attacks on Iranian targets.
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump escalated tensions by suggesting the possibility of a regime change, declaring, “If the current Iranian regime is unable to make Iran great again, why wouldn’t there be a regime change?”
As Israel and Iran exchange escalating attacks, the world watches anxiously for Tehran’s response to recent U.S. bombings. Iranian official Masoud Pezeshkian warned, “The Americans must receive a response to their aggression.”
Despite the violence, the UN’s nuclear watchdog reports no increase in off-site radiation levels after strikes on the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites.
The human toll rises: Iran claims over 400 dead and 3,000 wounded since Israel’s June 13 offensive, while Iranian strikes in Israel have killed at least 24. The conflict shows no signs of easing, with global fears mounting over a wider regional escalation.
