A US congresswoman has accused American military actions of killing innocent civilians in Iran, prompting a strong response from Iran’s First Vice President. Mohammad Reza Aref warned of a “multi-layered” retaliation, indicating Iran is prepared to respond to US attacks in a way that targets American interests. The remarks come amid heightened tensions between the two nations following recent strikes. Aref’s comments suggest Iran is willing to escalate the conflict, potentially leading to more direct confrontations. The US congresswoman’s allegations highlight growing concerns over the humanitarian impact of military operations in the region. As tensions rise, both sides remain on high alert, with the potential for further escalation.
