Trump Warns Of 'Biggest Attack' As Strikes Begin, Iran Says US Will Regret - NDTV

**Washington, D.C. –** President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned that the United States is preparing what he called the “biggest attack” yet against Iran, after a series of American airstrikes hit Iranian‑backed militia sites in the Middle East. The strikes, which the Pentagon says were aimed at “disrupting terrorist infrastructure,” marked the latest escalation in a conflict that intensified earlier this week when a wedding in the Sirik region of Iran’s Hormozgan province was reportedly hit by a missile, killing four civilians, according to Iranian state television. Tehran’s foreign ministry responded that the United States would “regret” its actions and promised a “justified” retaliation.

In a separate statement, Iran’s Foreign Minister reiterated that the United States’ campaign would be met with a “regretful response,” signalling that Tehran is preparing a broader counter‑offensive. The Iranian government also criticized the U.S. for abandoning the 2015 nuclear agreement, a point echoed by President Trump, who dismissed the deal as “a disaster” and urged Congress to restore sanctions that were lifted under the accord. Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council called for restraint on both sides, emphasizing that any further civilian casualties could destabilize the already volatile region.

Analysts note that the current round of strikes follows a pattern of tit‑for‑tat attacks that began after accusations that Iran-backed groups targeted U.S. facilities in Iraq and Syria. The U.S. Central Command reported that additional precision strikes were conducted on Thursday against “high‑value” targets linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. While officials on both sides have warned of a potential widening of hostilities, diplomatic channels remain open, with European allies urging a return to negotiations to prevent a broader war.
