Following U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's threat of nighttime strikes on Iran, the Iranian news agency Tasnim quoted a military source saying that "any new adventure or foolishness will be met with an immediate response from us. We will not leave any aggression unanswered. Iranian forces are fully prepared, and if the U.S. takes any aggressive action, it will face harsh responses." According to him, "If they take action, Iran will focus on new targets. The American idea of 'controlled escalation' and initiative is foolish, and Iran will not hesitate to impose new calculations on them." Meanwhile, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad called on its citizens in Iraq "to remain vigilant" amid the developments in the region.
