As tensions between Iran and Israel suddenly escalate again, a threatening video message came from Tehran to Washington. In the video broadcast by Iranian state television, the locations of oil refineries in states such as California, Texas, and New Orleans, as well as the map location of Diego Garcia Island, where a US base is situated, were shared. The video ended with the words: 'If Washington ignores the warning of a war outside the region once again, will it be able to pay the price?'
As Iran and Israel are once again clashing, the Tehran administration has released a video message containing threats against the US.
US OIL REFINERIES LISTED ONE BY ONE
In the video shared on Iranian state television, oil refineries located in states such as California, Texas, and New Orleans, as well as the military base on Diego Garcia Island in the Indian Ocean, were clearly marked as targets on the map.
WARNING TO THE US: "OUT-OF-REGION WAR"
The video concludes with the statement, "If Washington ignores the warning of an out-of-region war this time, can it afford the cost?" delivering a direct threat to the US. Experts say Tehran aims to convey that Washington would face a global energy and logistics crisis if it joins the war by supporting Israel.
TRUMP CALLS ON BOTH SIDES
Following the escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Donald Trump said, "Israel and Iran must stop firing immediately."
IRAN: ATTACKS ON ISRAEL HAVE ENDED
After this call, Iran made a statement. The Iranian Armed Forces announced that military operations against Israel have ended, warning that if Israel resumes attacks on Lebanon, they will respond with more severe strikes.
PEZESHKIAN'S MESSAGE ON NEGOTIATIONS: WE HAVE NOT LEFT THE FIELD NOR THE TABLE
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated, "We will not back down from any threat. Diplomacy and defense are the two wings of national power; we have neither left the field nor the negotiation table."
ISRAEL ALSO STOPS ATTACKS
According to a report by Israel Hayom, Israel and the US sent a message to Iran via mediators that "if missile attacks stop, no new counterattack will be launched." The report noted that the Iranian Armed Forces' combat unit, Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, announced the cessation of military operations against Israel after this message was delivered.
Channel 13 in Israel claimed that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump spoke by phone for the second time on the same day shortly before Iran announced it had halted attacks.
Yedioth Ahronoth reported that after Netanyahu's call with Trump, the Israeli Prime Minister said he would stop the attacks planned for the evening and night against Iran.
CEASEFIRE BROKEN, MISSILES RAIN ON CITIES
The Israeli army announced it targeted Hezbollah infrastructure in the Dahiyeh area south of Beirut, Lebanon, yesterday, killing at least two people and wounding 20. Following the attack, Iran launched missiles at Israel.
Israel retaliated, with the Israeli army reporting strikes on western and central regions of Iran. Israeli warplanes hit five major Iranian cities: the capital Tehran, Isfahan, Karaj, Tabriz, and Kermanshah.
In response to strikes on radar facilities in Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps targeted Israel's Nevatim and Tel Nof air bases, stating, "We are prepared for all scenarios and large-scale operations on all fronts."
Following this message, the Israeli army stated, "New missiles have been detected launched from Iran toward Israel."
IRAN'S REVOLUTIONARY GUARD STRIKES HAIFA
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it targeted industrial facilities in Haifa in response to Israel's attacks on petrochemical plants in Iran. A statement from the Corps noted that similar industrial facilities in Haifa were also targeted.
The statement added that Israel's targeting of civilian sites and the oil industry has started a dangerous game that could affect all energy centers in the region, and the US will be responsible for the resulting economic consequences.
"WE IMPOSE A COMPLETE AND ABSOLUTE BAN ON ISRAELI MARITIME ACTIVITIES IN THE RED SEA"
Meanwhile, Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen announced they had launched missile attacks on Israel and would target Israeli ships in the Red Sea. Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said they carried out missile strikes on Tel Aviv's Jaffa area.
Stating they would target Israeli ships in the Red Sea, Saree said, "We impose a complete and absolute ban on Israeli maritime activities in the Red Sea. From now on, we consider all enemy movements as legitimate military targets."
Saree added that they would respond similarly to Israel's escalatory steps and would increase attacks on Israel.
