Iran Warns of Full-Scale Offensive if US Military Strikes PersistPreviousNext

Iran's senior military adviser Mohsen Rezaei warned that if US military strikes continue for another two to three days, Tehran will escalate to full-scale offensive operations extending beyond its borders. He stated that no political border would be safe from Iran's response. The warning follows a week of US strikes and Iranian retaliations targeting US interests in the region. Iran also demands financial reparations for alleged attacks on civilian infrastructure, which the US denies.
