The Islamic Republic of Iran warns that any act of aggression will have severe consequences, for which the U.S. will bear full responsibility.

Axar.az reports via Newsweek, Iranian Permanent Representative to the United Nations (U.N.) Amir Saeid Iravani hit back in a letter and sent to U.N. leadership, condemning the "recent belligerent statements by senior officials of the United States administration, including the president of the United States, while they were attempting desperately to unlawfully justify the US' acts of aggression and war crimes against Yemen, leveling baseless accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran and openly threatening the use of force against Iran."

"While committed to its obligations to international peace and security, the Islamic Republic of Iran will resolutely defend its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national interests under international law against any hostile action," Iravani said.

Notably, two days after ordering strikes across positions linked to the Iran-aligned Ansar Allah movement, also known as the Houthis, in Yemen, Trump warned Monday in a Truth Social post that additional attacks by the group that has targeted more than 100 vessels accused of having ties to Israel "will be met with great force."

The president further asserted that Iran had full "control" over Ansar Allah, and that Tehran also "will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire" should Ansar Allah press on with its operations.
