Iran's Revolutionary Guards Threaten More Destructive Weapons Amid Rising Regional Tensions
The Iranian Revolutionary Guards issued a severe warning on Wednesday amid escalating regional tensions, stating they would deploy more destructive weapons if a new war breaks out. Hussein Mohseni, a spokesperson for the Guards, emphasized that the missiles to be used in any future conflict would be far more devastating than those employed in previous wars, signaling a significant escalation in Iran's military capabilities.
This announcement follows reports of a missile that likely slipped through from American or Saudi strikes against Iran, landing in Azerbaijan, as documented on social media. The situation remains tense, with missile interceptions over Ashkelon reported by Reuters.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump intensified threats against Iran on Tuesday night via the social media platform Truth, declaring the initiation of the "most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country." He described it as an unprecedented economic war and isolation effort, calling it the "economic D-Day." Trump warned countries that assist Iran in circumventing U.S. sanctions would face severe economic consequences themselves. He stressed the need for all U.S. allies to stand united to isolate and defeat the Iranian threat.
