Iran Warns Of Full-Scale Offensive Against US
A big military leader in Iran named Major General Mohsen Rezaei said that if the United States keeps attacking Iran for a few more days, Iran will stop just hitting back and will start attacking everywhere.
He said that no borders will be safe if this happens.
This means Iran might attack other countries too, not just the US.
The general said this on Friday, and it was reported by an Iranian news agency called IRIB.
Iran has been hitting back at US military bases with missiles and drones because the US has been attacking Iran.
The US says it is doing this to protect ships in a busy waterway called the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran says the US is making the situation worse by turning it into a bigger war.
Iran also asked nearby countries to help stop the fighting from getting worse.
Iran's Major General Mohsen Rezaei warned of full-scale offensive operations against the US if US strikes continue for two or three more days.
Rezaei stated that Iran will no longer limit itself to retaliatory responses and will target US bases and forces without political borders being safe.
Iran has been responding to US strikes with missile and drone attacks on US military bases across the region.
The US claims its strikes are in response to Iranian attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and aimed at degrading Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping.
Iran accuses the US of miscalculating by turning the war into a regional conflict and warns of expanded military operations if US strikes continue.
