Tehran vows sweeping regional retaliation if Washington targets Iranian infrastructure

Iran warned that any U.S. attack on its infrastructure would trigger broader, non‑proportional retaliation across the region, framing the Strait of Hormuz as an inviolable red line while claiming it can control it from anywhere in its territory. The flare‑up comes as both sides exchange strikes, with Iran launching missiles at a U.S. base in Jordan and drones at facilities in Kuwait and Bahrain, and the U.S. reporting strikes on Iranian command centers and missile/drone capabilities, amid talk of involving regional proxies like the Houthis.
