Iran Vows Retaliation After US Strikes Nuclear Facilities
Updated june 23, 2025
Tensions are soaring as Iran promises retaliation following U.S. President Donald Trump’s authorization of strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.Teh move has drawn criticism from some U.S. lawmakers and foreign leaders, fearing further escalation of the conflict.
Trump has warned Iran that any retaliation will be met with “far greater” force, even raising the possibility of regime change. “For 40 years, Iran has been saying, Death to America, Death to Israel,” Trump said. “There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days.”
The U.S. State Department has issued a “Worldwide Caution” alert, the first since the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on israel, advising U.S. citizens to exercise increased caution due to potential travel disruptions and demonstrations. The Department of Homeland Security also issued a National Terrorism Advisory, warning of possible cyber attacks by pro-Iranian hacktivists and potential targeting of U.S. officials.
The alert stated that the likelihood of violent extremists mobilizing in response to the conflict would likely increase if Iranian leadership issued a religious ruling calling for retaliatory violence against targets in the U.S.
Police in major U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., have increased security at religious sites, diplomatic locations, and public spaces.
Iran has condemned the U.S. attacks and called on the United nations Security Council to address what it calls “injustice and gross violations” by the U.S. and Israel. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said both countries “decided to blow up” diplomacy.
What’s next
The world now awaits Iran’s response, with concerns mounting over potential escalation and further instability in the Middle East. The U.S. is bracing for possible retaliation, while urging its citizens to remain vigilant.
