Iran has declared that it will not bow to U.S. threats or warnings, asserting that Tehran is fully prepared for any situation. The statement came after U.S. President Donald Trump warned on his social media platform that Iran’s time was running out and urged immediate action, otherwise facing consequences. In response, Iranian officials rejected any notion of compromise and emphasized defiance.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday afternoon, a spokesperson for Iran’s armed forces warned that any new conflict would bring severe and destructive consequences for the United States. He added that any fresh aggression against Iran would trigger unexpected and highly offensive countermeasures targeting U.S. assets and bases in the region.

The tone between the two nations has grown increasingly harsh, with Tehran framing its stance as defensive preparedness rather than escalation. However, the rising rhetoric on both sides is narrowing the space for diplomatic dialogue, according to the report.
