MEE staff9/21/2026

Iran's military says the US is preparing to attack the country again. The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which oversees Iran’s armed forces, said it had received information that the US was planning to restart direct attacks after months of reduced violence. The military said on Sunday they would retaliate against any American strikes and that any countries hosting US assets would be “considered complicit”. The Trump administration has insisted there are some skirmishes from time to time that no longer constitute a "war", but dozens of Iranian civilians were killed in American attacks just last month.
