TEHRAN: The Revolutionary Guards have vowed to strike new targets and employ advanced weaponry should the US launch additional assaults on Iran, according to a statement from the group's spokesman. This comes as the two nations remain in a standstill after nearly seven months of conflict, with neither party eager to resume full-scale warfare.
Iran has accused the US of targeting its forces in the United Arab Emirates and Jordan. In response, the Guards have stated they will deploy fresh weaponry and targets, which may differ from those previously hit. Additionally, the Guards have declared their readiness for a prolonged conflict. On Saturday, Iran's military central command suggested the US was contemplating new actions against Tehran, though specifics were not disclosed.
Relations between the US and Iran have softened recently following a recent incident, but Iran continues to target commercial vessels in the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz. Both nations are implementing blockades in the waterway to exert pressure. The conflict has also spilled into Yemen, where Iran-backed Houthis have gained ground from the Saudi-backed government and have launched assaults on Saudi objectives, including the capital Riyadh.
