Iran warns of "boomerang" retaliation against any military action

Senior Iranian official Ali Akbar Velayati has warned that any country participating in military action against Iran would face retaliatory consequences.

Velayati, a senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said such involvement would trigger a direct response from Tehran.

“Any participation in military aggression against Iran will definitely return to the participants like a boomerang,” he said, as quoted by Iran’s state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), CNN reports.

He indicated that the Persian Gulf could become a central arena for potential retaliation, emphasising the strategic sensitivity of the region.

“The geography of the Persian Gulf cannot remain without consequences,” Velayati said. He added that “events will definitely occur” that would be “to the detriment of those threatening Iran’s national security.”
