Mohsen Rezaei, a top Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) official and military adviser to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, warned the United States on Friday of a “full-scale offensive” if it persisted with military strikes against Iran, APA reports citing CNN.
“If US attacks continue for another two or three days, we will enter a phase of full-scale offensive operations,” state-owned Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) quoted Rezaei as saying in an interview.
The comments come on the seventh consecutive day of US strikes on Iran and Iranian retaliation at Arab US allies.
“No political border will be secure against Iran’s offensive forces,” Rezaei said and added that the United States should be required to pay financial reparations for what Iranian officials have characterized as attacks on civilian infrastructure, which the US denied.
