Iran army says any new war with US could be 'longer than previous conflict'
TEHERAN: Iran warned on Sunday that any new war with the United States could last longer than the previous conflict and that US President Donald Trump would not be the one to determine its duration.
Iranian Defense Minister Mehrdad Akhlaghi has warned that a potential future war with the United States could last longer than the previous conflict, stating that US President Donald Trump would not dictate the timing or conditions of its end. This comes after US-Israeli strikes on Iran, which resulted in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on February 28.
Iran responded by launching missiles and drones across the region, with militant groups backed by Iran also entering the fray in Lebanon and Yemen. Hossein Mohebbi, spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, echoed similar sentiments in a written message, saying there are no geographical limitations in a conflict with America.
US President Trump had earlier stated that the US has targeted much of Iran's military, but still needs to address one or two sites.
