Iran's supreme leader orders "maximum" response to any U.S. attack

Iran's supreme leader has ordered the military to prepare a "maximum" and "unrestricted" response to any attacks from the United States or Israel. This directive includes expanding retaliation plans to be "geographically unrestricted," meaning Iran will not limit its targets to specific regions. While the IRGC is closely monitoring U.S. movements and Tehran warns that foreign invaders face a "killing ground," some Iranian officials report positive progress in mediated negotiations. Qatar is currently pushing for a U.S.-Iran deal as Donald Trump threatens to resume attacks.
