Iran Warns New War Could Last Longer After Trump Threatens Strikes
Iranian military officials said a new conflict with the United States could extend beyond Trump's control, as the country responded with regional missile and drone strikes.
- On Saturday, President Donald Trump claimed the United States has "knocked out" much of Iran's military but could "take care of" one or two remaining nuclear sites in 10 minutes.
- The conflict began February 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Iran that killed the Islamic republic's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, prompting Iran to launch missiles and activate militant groups in Lebanon and Yemen.
- Hossein Mohebbi, spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, warned on Sunday that in a conflict with America, "there are no geographical limitations; a vast theatre has been defined for inflicting damage upon the enemy."
- Defense Minister Mehrdad Akhlaghi separately warned on Sunday of a "proportionate, decisive, and impactful response" to any attack, asserting Iran would not allow threats to dictate the scope or timing of its defensive actions.
- Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia stated on Sunday that any new war could last longer than the previous conflict, noting Trump would not be in a position to dictate the timing or conditions of its conclusion.
