The Khatam al-Anbiya Central Military Headquarters issued a strongly worded statement on Thursday, after US President Donald Trump threatened to expand terrorist American attacks against Iran next week to target civilian infrastructure, including power plants and bridges.
"If the recent empty threats by the US president to have the American military target the infrastructure of the Islamic Republic are carried out, then everything that, due to Iran's restraint, has so far remained intact—that is, all infrastructure throughout the region—will be smashed under the iron blows of the powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic, to such an extent that no trace of it will remain, as though it had never existed,” the military command’s spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari said.
He also slammed the criminal US regime for continuing its lawless actions and efforts to destabilize West Asia.
Zolfaqari further stressed that Iran will never allow the United States—as a foreign, extra-regional country—to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz, which is the Islamic Republic’s “inviolable red line."
"Let the ignorant enemy know: for us, the moment of epic action is not a moment for restraint. What is being carried out by Iran’s armed forces is not an equivalent strike; it is a superior strike. The strikes will be more intense, extensive, and destructive than ever before. The fury of a nation that has never surrendered will burn the aggressor,” he added.
In another development on Thursday, the IRGC’s Public Relations Department said that the force’s Navy had conducted a “devastating strike against the US base in Sheikh Isa, Bahrain.”
The operation completely destroyed the air surveillance and control radar system and the fuel pumping station supplying the enemy’s fighter aircraft, it noted.
The attack came in response to crimes of the child-killing US military in its aerial assaults on coastal bases and several civilian locations, including a children’s cancer hospital and a water production facility serving pilgrims traveling to Iraq’s holy city of Karbala in the border region of Iran’s Ilam Province.
In the past few days, tensions have increased in the Strait of Hormuz, caused by deadly US strikes on Iran in gross violation of last month’s war-ending deal between the two sides.
Iran has declared the strategic waterway closed “until further notice” and at least until “the end of US interference in the region.”
