Iran Warns US of Massive Response to Potential Attacks

Iranian military leaders issued warnings on November 12, 2026, stating that any renewed aggression against the Islamic Republic would trigger a massive military response. Armed Forces spokesman Abolfazl Shekarchi warned the United States that an attack would result in an unprecedented offensive against identified targets, claiming the response would be 10 times more severe than previous conflicts.

These warnings follow a threat from U.S. President Donald Trump, who asserted that any future attack on Iran would be five times stronger than previous operations. Simultaneously, the Cabinet of Israel ordered its military to increase preparations for a potential attack on Iran. In a separate development, Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip killed at least ten Palestinians, including victims at the Nasser Medical Complex.

Army Commander Major General Amir Hatami asserted that the Air Defense Force has acquired new capabilities, rendering the enemy vulnerable despite psychological warfare. This escalation follows the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps' unveiling of a new Aerospace Force missile city on November 11. Tehran maintains that U.S. bases used for attacks on Iranian territory are legitimate targets for retaliation, citing previous conflicts in June 2025 and February 2026 as evidence of its capabilities.
