What happens if the US bombs Iran? The Supreme Leader has a chilling answer.
Escalating Tensions Over Nuclear Deal
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issued a stark warning to the United States on Monday, vowing a “strong blow” if President Donald Trump follows through on his threat to bomb Tehran.
The warning comes after Trump reiterated his demand for a new nuclear deal, giving Iran two months to respond.

A History of Threats and Warnings
Last week, Iran rejected direct talks with the US but left the door open for indirect negotiations.
Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Guards warned that American troops in the Middle East are “in a glass house,” hinting at retaliation if attacked.
Why Now?
Tensions have been high since Trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions. Iran has since ramped up uranium enrichment, raising global concerns. While Tehran insists its nuclear program is peaceful, Western powers remain skeptical.
With both sides trading threats, the world watches nervously. Will diplomacy prevail, or will violence escalate? One thing is clear—Iran is ready to fight back.
