Iran army warns war will expand if US resumes attacks
Iran's army warned on July 26, 2026, that the war in West Asia would widen geographically if the United States resumes attacks on Iran, particularly through air strikes. Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia told state television that the conflict has already expanded to the Bab al-Mandab Strait, referencing recent Houthi military operations against Saudi Aramco facilities in Jizan and Yanbu. He stated that Iran's operations now encompass the entire region, from US bases in Jordan to Persian Gulf countries. The warning comes ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's scheduled visit to Washington on July 28 to meet US President Donald Trump. Akraminia predicted the US is seeking a new strategy and said Iran is prepared for all likely scenarios.
