Iran warns US, Israel of 'immediate' retaliation if attacks resume

Iran's Supreme Leader warned the United States and Israel that any resumption of attacks would trigger immediate, impactful and unrestricted retaliation, according to a statement. This comes as the US prepares to hold its midterm elections, which could potentially lead to renewed military action. Iran's top military commanders have been instructed to update the country's target list to encompass all assets belonging to the American-Zionist enemy.

The threat of a return to conflict has been heightened following the recent US-Israeli strikes, which began in February. Despite warnings from Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed a desire to topple the Iranian government, viewing it as a historic opportunity. The elections in both nations could significantly influence the direction of the conflict.
