An Iranian lawmaker has warned that the country’s retaliatory missile strikes will reach Europe in case of a new US-Israeli war of aggression, pushing oil prices to new record highs.
Hossein-Ali Haji Deligani issued the warning on Friday, one week after Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei ordered the Iranian Armed Forces to deliver a “geographically unrestricted response” to any military assault.
He said that Iran’s response will not be limited or proportionate to the scale or location of the enemy’s attacks, but instead it will be a massive, amplified and strategic one, carried out without geographical constraints.
“Any act of sabotage or military aggression by the United States and Israel would trigger an Iranian response, with missiles capable of reaching targets in Europe. Such an escalation could drive oil prices above $150 per barrel,” he added.
Meanwhile, Haji Deligani emphasized that there is no rush to end the war and that Tehran will continue on the path of resilience until final victory is achieved, consolidated, and full deterrence is established.
Highlighting the active public support for the Iranian Armed forces and the performance of brave military commanders, he noted that Iran has managed to instill “fear, doubt and division” among its adversaries, thwarting their plots to impose a third criminal war on the nation.
The US and the Israeli regime waged their first illegal war against Iran, which lasted 12 days, in June 2025. Their second aggression began on February 28 and came to a halt in early April after 40 days.
In both wars, Iran’s resistance and successful retaliatory operations forced the aggressors to accept a ceasefire.
Iran has also maintained a tight grip on the Strait of Hormuz since the early days of the second imposed war in response to Washington’s acts of mischief in West Asia.
‘US moved warships 1,000 kilometers away from Iran’s borders’
Speaking on Thursday, Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi, a senior advisor to the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) commander-in-chief and former Navy commander, said that Iran’s naval capabilities compelled the US to retreat from Iran's coastline.
“During the recent wars, US forces moved their naval vessels and maritime assets more than 1,000 kilometers away from Iran’s borders,” he said.
“On occasions when they attempted to approach the region, they were met with a response from Iran’s Armed Forces.”
Fadavi further referred to the US’s policy of confrontation with Iran that began in the immediate aftermath of the 1979 Islamic Revolution and continued through a range of measures, including coup attempts, the 1980s’ imposed war, economic sanctions and political pressure.
“In the recent wars, the United States entered the battlefield directly and with its full military might for the first time, bringing the Israeli regime into the confrontation as well. Washington believed it could bring the Islamic Republic of Iran to its knees in a short period of time, but ultimately failed to achieve its objectives,” he pointed out.
Driven by their lofty ideals, Iranians have endured hardships and remained steadfast despite the most severe economic sanctions.
