What happened

Well supportedReported by 34 independent outlets

Iranian chief negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf stated that the era of 'proportionate responses' is over following recent Iranian strikes targeting U.S. bases in the Middle East. Ghalibaf warned that any future transgression against Iran's interests and security would receive a 'faster, heavier, and more painful' response. Separately, Iranian lawmaker Kamran Ghazanfari stated that the region is 'practically on the brink of World War III.' These statements were made amidst the ongoing geopolitical crisis involving the Middle East.
