The second round of meeting between America and Iran is being held in Geneva on Tuesday (17 February 2026). Both countries are trying to resolve tensions over Tehran’s nuclear program. Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has warned US President Donald Trump thrice within 30 minutes. Khamenei’s warning regarding America diverted the world’s attention from the discussions taking place between the two representatives at the table.

Khamenei’s warning to Trump

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei targeted Donald Trump by posting on X. Referring to the US Army, he warned about Washington’s increasing military presence near Iran. Referring to Trump’s previous statement, Khamenei said, ‘The US President has said that for 47 years the United States has not been able to eliminate the Islamic Republic. He himself admitted this, which is a good thing. I am saying that even you (Donald Trump) will not be able to do this.

Khamenei threatened to destroy US warship

After this, Khamenei raised questions on American military power and said, ‘The American President keeps saying that he has the strongest military power in the world. Sometimes even the strongest military power in the world can get such a severe blow that it cannot stand up again.

Referring to the American naval deployment, he said in the third warning, ‘The Americans continuously say that they have sent a warship towards Iran. Of course warship is a dangerous military equipment. Technical superiority alone does not help in the battlefield. More dangerous than an American warship is the weapon that can sink it into the depths of the sea.

US is increasing military power near Iran

Satellite images released by BBC have confirmed the presence of USS Abraham Lincoln near Iran. Reports also indicated that the world’s largest warship USS Gerald R. Ford has also departed and may reach the Middle East within a few weeks.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday (1 February 2026) once again warned America in a tough tone, which has created a stir in the Middle East. Responding to the threats of US President Donald Trump, Khamenei said that Iran is standing strong and will continue to stand strong. He said, ‘If Allah wills, he will end America’s mischief and oppression.’

The series of threats between Iran and America is in full swing

The series of threats is going on in full swing between Iran and America. On one hand, US President Donald Trump says that we are ready to deal with Iran in every way, but would prefer to resolve the matter through dialogue. On the other hand, Iran is also continuously saying that if America attacks it, a strong response will be given.

Iran stands firm and will continue to stand firm, and—God willing—will put an end to the United States’ mischief and harassment.

If America attacks, regional war will break out: Khamenei

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has threatened America for the second time in the last 12 hours. Earlier, Khamenei warned, ‘This time the war will not end easily. If America attacks, a regional war will break out. America should know that if you start a war, be prepared for it to become a regional war. We are not provocateurs and we do not want to attack any country, but Iran will hit hard any person or country that attacks or harasses it.

We are keeping an eye on the actions of our enemies: Iranian Army Chief

A day earlier, at a national event in Tehran, Army Chief Aamir Hatami stressed the preparedness of the Iranian army amid increasing tensions with America. He said, ‘Today, the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran is in full defense and military readiness and is closely monitoring enemy movements in the area. Our finger is on the trigger. He further said that if the enemy makes any mistake, it will undoubtedly jeopardize its own, Israel’s and the region’s security.

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Sunday (1 February 2026) warned America that if it starts a war, this time it will be a regional war. He compared the protests challenging the Iranian government to a coup. This statement of Khamenei has come at a time when Trump has put two conditions before Iran, which include stopping the nuclear program and stopping action against the protesters.

American army threatens Iran

Iran had planned military exercises in the Persian Gulf on February 1 and 2. The narrow mouth of the Persian Gulf is called The Strait of Hormuz. One-fifth of the world’s oil trade passes through it. Tehran had warned that it would practice firing here. At the same time, the Central Command of the US Army warned on Saturday (31 December 2026) that if tension increases near the US Army, regional partners or commercial ships, then the risk in the region will increase further.

Anyone who attacks Iran will get a reply: Khamenei

According to Iranian government television, Khamenei said, ‘The Americans should know that if they start a war, this time there will be a regional war in the Middle East. We are not provocateurs and we do not want to attack any country, but Iran will give a befitting reply to anyone who attacks us.

Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, said that a framework is being prepared for possible talks with the US. This statement of Ali Larijani came after the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Friday (30 January 2026). America has further strengthened its military presence in the Middle East.

US President Donald Trump has said that a huge naval fleet (led by the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln) is moving towards Iran. According to Trump, this fleet is bigger than the one sent to Venezuela. Due to this, the risk of conflict between the two countries seems to be increasing, although Washington has publicly expressed the possibility of diplomacy.

Iran wants to talk

Tehran has already indicated that it is ready for talks, but only if the talks are fair and without any pressure or threats. Meanwhile, Iran’s Army Chief Amir Hatami warned that if America makes any mistake, it could threaten its own security as well as the security of Israel and the entire West Asia region.
