Iranian Advisor Warns: US Attack Could Spark War

In a recent statement, Iranian Supreme Leader’s advisor, Ali Shamkhani, issued a stern warning regarding potential US military actions. He emphasized that any attack would mark the commencement of a war. Shamkhani made this declaration on January 28, 2026, stating that a “limited strike” is an illusion, and any military action by the US would draw an immediate and unprecedented response from Iran.

Escalating Tensions Between Iran and the US

The tensions between Iran and the United States are escalating following remarks from President Donald Trump. He encouraged Iran to engage in negotiations concerning its nuclear program. Trump asserted that a fair agreement without nuclear weapons was crucial and urged Iran to come to the table soon, warning of potential consequences if they did not.

Iran’s Readiness to Respond

Iran’s Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, also commented on the situation. He indicated that Iran is “fully prepared” to respond decisively to any aggression against its territory, airspace, or waters. Araghchi underlined the readiness of Iranian Armed Forces to react effectively to threats.

Historical Context of US-Iran Conflict

The current conflict reflects long-standing tensions that have been reignited after significant events in 2025. In June of that year, the US conducted strikes on Iran, targeting crucial facilities such as Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz. These complexes are vital for Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities. In response, President Masoud Pezeshkian pledged to rebuild these nuclear facilities with enhanced strength during a visit to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran.
