The United States has officially warned Iran that any transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia will be met with a severe response. During a briefing on Monday, U.S. State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel cautioned that such an action would not only escalate tensions but also undermine Iran’s efforts to improve relations with the U.S.
This stern warning came after reports surfaced in Arab media about Iran’s possible transfer of ballistic missiles to Russia. The U.S. spokesperson highlighted that America, in collaboration with its European allies, is closely monitoring Iran’s activities. He made it clear that if Iran proceeds with the missile transfer, the U.S. is prepared to react swiftly and decisively.
Patel emphasized that supplying ballistic missiles to Russia would significantly escalate the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, leading to dramatic consequences. The message from the U.S. is unequivocal: any such move by Iran will face a robust and severe response, further straining the already delicate situation.
