(FXStreet) — On April 5th, Iranian media reported that Iran has warned the U.S. and Israel that if tensions continue to escalate, the entire region will become "your hell."

April 5 (Reuters) – A top Israeli defense official said Saturday local time that Israel is preparing to strike Iran’s energy facilities but currently requires U.S. approval first. He added the strikes could come as early as next week. The remarks came after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum, fueling fresh concerns over whether Washington would back Israel in additional military action against Iran.

April 5 (Xinhua) — Iranian Armed Forces Hatam Anbia Central Headquarters Commander Abdollahi responded Thursday to U.S. President Donald Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum, emphasizing the Iranian military will firmly defend the country’s rights, protect its assets, and make aggressors pay a price. Iran’s Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) reported later that day that Abdollahi accused Trump of taking “helpless, frantic, unbalanced and stupid actions” after a string of failures, in an attempt to threaten Iran’s infrastructure and national assets. Abdollahi stressed that if the U.S. and Israel carry out such attacks, “we will relentlessly launch sustained, devastating strikes against all U.S. military and Israeli infrastructure.” He warned the U.S. and Israel that “we have followed through on everything we have said” since the start of this imposed war on Iran.

On April 5, U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham posted on social media: "Just had a great chat with President Trump. I fully back his ultimatum to the Iranian regime—demand they open the Strait of Hormuz and strike a peace deal. If Iran makes the wrong call, they’ll face a large-scale military operation. That regime’s already taken a huge hit from U.S. military actions."
