Iran has issued a strong warning that it will deliver a 'comprehensive and regret-inducing' response to any act of aggression, following recent military movements by the United States in West Asia and joint drills with Gulf states. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei emphasized that regional instability would not be limited to Iran and urged countries to take a clear stance against US threats. The comments come after US President Donald Trump announced a significant military buildup in the region and claimed to have prevented mass executions of protesters in Iran. Amid heightened tensions, rights groups report thousands of deaths from the recent unrest in Iran, with estimates ranging from over 5,000 confirmed fatalities to more than 36,000 in Tehran alone, according to various sources.
