Tensions between Iran and the United States escalated following comments by Donald Trump regarding the potential use of a massive bomb, which he described as acting like a ‘small atomic bomb’. In response, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, warned that Iran would defend its position in the Strait of Hormuz and respond to such weaponry with its own ‘Father of Missiles’ capabilities. Following these remarks, Iranian military leadership issued further warnings to the United States and Israel. General Ali Abdollahi, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, claimed Iran possesses new missile technology that is ‘undetectable and impossible to intercept’. Other officials, including Mohsen Rezai of the Supreme National Security Council and Defense Minister Mehrdad Akhlaghi, stated that the armed forces have prepared military plans designed to be more destructive than previous conflicts, warning that any resumed military campaigns would result in ‘serious damage’ to the United States and its allies. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-18: Iran threatens US and Israel with undetectable missiles Iranian military officials have threatened the United States and Israel with new, undetectable, and non-interceptable missiles in response to potential future aggression. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/iran-threatens-us-and-israel-with-undetectable-missiles ### 2026-10-16: Iran warns of missile response to Trump’s ‘Mother of All Bombs’ comments An Iranian lawmaker warned that if Donald Trump uses the ‘Mother of All Bombs’ against Iran, the country will respond with its ‘Father of Missiles’ and maintain its stance on the Strait of Hormuz. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/iran-warns-of-missile-response-to-trumps-mother-of-all-bombs-comments --- Cite as: Iran-US and Iran-Israel military tensions.
