June 22, 2025These global alerts from the US are relatively rare — the last one was in October 2023, soon after Hamas' attacks on Israel from Gaza sparked the latest conflict.
AdvertisementIran has vowed to retaliate after the US attacked its facilities over the weekend in a bid to derail the country's nuclear program. Iran's foreign minister has said it reserves all options to respond, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has signaled that US military bases in the region could be targeted.
At the United Nations on Sunday, Iranian Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani told an emergency Security Council meeting that the “timing, nature and scale” of Tehran's response “will be decided by its armed forces.”
