Iran’s Foreign Minister Syed Abbas Araghchi has sharply escalated the war of words, saying Tehran’s response will be aimed at American bases and institutions after fresh US strikes. His remarks came as scrutiny deepened over a deadly school strike in southern Iran that, according to reports cited by CNN and Reuters, may have involved American forces.
The conflict, which began on February 28 after joint US-Israel strikes inside Iran, is now pulling in more countries across West Asia. India is tracking the fallout on aviation, its missions in the Gulf have issued fresh advisories, and global leaders are warning that the crisis could slip beyond control.
