New Iranian Threat: "This Time, the War Will Not Be Limited to This Area Alone"

Ibrahim Azizi, chairman of the National Security Committee in the Iranian parliament, issued another threat on behalf of the Islamic Republic, saying that "this time, the war will not be limited to this area alone." Earlier, in the wake of the downing of the American helicopter in the Hormuz area, U.S. President Donald Trump said, "We hit them hard yesterday, and we will hit them again today."

In addition, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Bagaei said that "America is deliberately targeting the lifeline of the Iranian people. It must be held accountable for carrying out such systematic and brutal attacks on civilian infrastructure. This is a planned war crime."
