The warning follows a statement from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who said that there would be “no geographical limits” to Iran’s response if it were attacked again by the US and Israel.The US-Israeli war on Iran was launched on February 28, prompting Tehran to close the Strait of Hormuz and triggering a global energy crisis.
Mediation efforts have stepped up recently, as regional countries hope to bring the war to an end.On Friday, President Donald Trump said the US military launched limited strikes on Iran’s Qeshm Island, while also claiming Washington had made “a lot of progress” in talks with Iran.Tehran has repeatedly warned that it will target Gulf energy infrastructure if the fighting resumes.

The restrictions have further strained the country’s economy, forcing Iran to adopt new trade routes.On Saturday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced it was establishing a new task force that will support ongoing US efforts to prevent Iran from using land routes to transport advanced weapons and other materials.The US has also imposed a naval blockade on Iran to prevent it from exporting oil.
IRGC says underground military complexes allow missile production to continue even under heavy bombardment.
