US Senator Warns Strikes on Iran Civilians Would Tarnish Military

Middle Eastern outlets focus on Iran’s defiant response, stressing that leaders in Tehran reject Trump’s threats and insist their civilisation cannot be erased. They present Iranian officials as preparing a “proportionate” response if attacked, while also pointing to a 10‑point peace plan and questions over whether Trump is threatening cyber, nuclear, or ground invasion options. Commentators in the region warn that Trump’s language could backfire by weakening US influence and pushing more countries to distance themselves from Washington.
