A senior member of Iranian parliament has warned American soldiers not to waste a moment to escape from West Asia as Iran intensifies its retaliatory strikes against enemy targets across the region.

Ebrahim Azizi, who chairs the parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, issued the warning in an X post on Sunday, one day after Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei said that the United States will suffer “unforgettable lessons” if it keeps attacking the Islamic Republic.

“If US troops truly understood what our wise Leader meant by ‘unforgettable lessons,’ they wouldn’t waste a single second fleeing,” he said.

For eight consecutive nights, the terrorist US military has conducted waves of destructive aerial assaults on Iran and reinstated a blockade of Iranian ports in flagrant violation of a war-termination deal. It has committed war crimes by deliberately targeting civilian facilities and killing dozens of people.

In response, Iranian armed forces have launched heavy reprisal attacks against strategic American targets across the region.

The US and the Israeli regime waged their illegal war of aggression against Iran on February 28. However, forty days later, on April 8, the enemies were forced to accept a ceasefire amid Iran’s brave resistance, successful retaliatory operations, and powerful grip on the Strait of Hormuz.

On June 17, Tehran and Washington signed the Pakistan-brokered Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which calls for a permanent end to hostilities across all fronts and includes a commitment from both sides to hold further talks on a final agreement in the next 60 days.

However, Washington violated all provisions of the understanding, resulting in Iran’s firm response.
