Iran has signalled that it is prepared for a prolonged confrontation with Israel and warned that US interests in the region could also come under threat.
Iranian officials have increasingly linked Washington to Israeli military operations. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said the United States bears direct responsibility for Israeli actions in the region, arguing that Tehran views Israel’s attacks as being conducted in coordination with Washington.
The remarks reflect a growing Iranian narrative that the United States is not merely supporting Israel militarily but is actively enabling its operations. The comments follow reports that US forces have assisted Israel in intercepting incoming Iranian missiles and drones. While US officials have emphasized that American involvement has been limited to defensive measures and does not include participation in strikes against Iranian targets, Tehran appears increasingly unwilling to draw a distinction between defensive support and offensive cooperation.
Iranian officials have repeatedly argued that US military assistance, intelligence sharing, and missile defense support make Washington a party to the conflict. The statement also comes amid mounting concerns that repeated violations of ceasefire arrangements could further undermine efforts by international mediators to contain the crisis.
The good news is that Trump is actively trying to stop this latest escalation and it’s highly likely that he will succeed, but the problem is that the US-Iran stalemate is almost certainly going to extend further
