Iran Warns US of Decisive Response to Involvement in Israeli Attacks

Iran's armed forces stated that the United States would be considered a direct party to any Israeli attack on Iran and would face a decisive response. This warning was issued in a formal statement emphasizing stronger retaliation against renewed attacks from either the US or Israel. The declaration comes amid escalating regional tensions.

US President-elect Donald Trump has threatened strikes on Iranian infrastructure, prompting concerns over potential escalation. Iran's position integrates the US into its defense calculus against Israel, signaling broader accountability for allied actions. No immediate military movements were reported following the statement.

government agencies warned of Iran-linked hackers targeting critical infrastructure, including energy and water systems.

These digital attacks are described as sabotage efforts in response to US threats. The incidents highlight a parallel cyber dimension to the physical warnings. Specific targets include operational technology in the energy sector, with hackers attempting to disrupt control systems.

The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued alerts to utilities and municipalities. No major disruptions have been confirmed from these attacks.

“Iran has carried out its own digital attacks against US critical infrastructure.”

attacks on Gulf nations and Israel are expected to persist for the next day or so. These involve automatic drone and missile launchers depleting supplies or being deactivated. Units from the Iranian Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are involved in these operations.
