Iran has warned of strong retaliation after Israeli strikes hit major industrial and nuclear sites, pushing tensions in the region to a new high.

Iran warns of retaliation as conflict escalates

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the country will “exact a heavy price” after attacks targeted key facilities. He accused Israel of striking steel factories, a power plant, and civilian nuclear infrastructure.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards also issued warnings. They urged workers at sites linked to the US or Israel to leave immediately. The move signals possible further strikes.

Israeli forces confirmed the attacks. Iranian officials said no radioactive leak occurred. However, the strikes hit sensitive sites, including nuclear facilities and industrial plants.

In response, Iran launched missiles toward Israel. One person died in Tel Aviv, while several others suffered injuries. Sirens rang across Jerusalem, and explosions were reported near Jericho.

The conflict has continued to intensify. Fresh strikes targeted Tehran, with multiple explosions reported overnight.

Global tensions rise as Strait of Hormuz faces disruption

The situation has also raised concerns over global energy supplies. Iran warned that regional infrastructure could become a target if the conflict expands.

Officials hinted at possible attacks on key energy hubs, including ports in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Iran also claimed it restricted movement in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route for global oil trade.

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump sent mixed signals. He warned of consequences but also suggested that talks with Iran could happen soon.

US envoy Steve Witkoff said negotiations may begin within days. However, no formal response from Tehran has been confirmed yet.

The war began on February 28 after joint US-Israeli strikes across Iran. Since then, both sides have continued military actions, with little sign of de-escalation.

As tensions grow, global markets remain on edge. Oil prices have surged, and fears of a wider regional conflict continue to rise.
