  Iran has warned that any renewed attacks on the country would provoke a “far more severe” response that could extend beyond regional borders. Separately, Iranian lawmaker Ebrahim Rezaei insisted that Tehran’s negotiators must engage with the United States “from a position of victorious power”, arguing that concessions would only embolden adversaries and weaken Iran’s strategic position.

  Collectively, these developments underscore rising instability not only in the Middle East but also in the broader political discourse surrounding protest, national security and international diplomacy.
