Pakistan, May 1 -- Iran has warned that it will launch "long and painful strikes" against United States positions if new attacks are carried out. The threat comes as tensions remain high over the ongoing conflict and the strategic Strait of Hormuz closure. The escalation raises fears of further disruption to global energy supplies and regional stability.

Iranian officials said any renewed US military action would trigger strong retaliation against American bases in the region. The Revolutionary Guards stated that even limited strikes would be met with sustained responses. They also warned of consequences for US naval forces operating near Iranian waters.
