Iran's Supreme Leader has issued explicit warnings of geographically unrestricted retaliation against the US and Israel if attacked, signaling a hardening stance despite ongoing mediation efforts. This rhetoric, confirmed by multiple sources, raises the risk of broader regional conflict, though the direct link to a concurrent maritime incident in the Strait of Hormuz remains unconfirmed. The actual intent and capability for such retaliation are uncertain.
