Iran Warns of ‘Devastating’ Response to Any New US Military Action

The explicit naming of US facilities, equipment and forces as potential targets moves the rhetoric from general deterrence to specific threat-mapping, which matters for force posture and risk premia in Gulf-linked assets. The claim that Tehran would decide when a conflict ends is the more consequential assertion, since it implies a willingness to control escalation timelines rather than merely retaliate. Whether this remains declaratory signaling or is matched by visible force movements is the open question worth tracking.
