Tehran warns of ‘full-scale offensive’ if US strikes continue Major General Mohsen Rezaee, a senior Iranian military adviser, has warned that if the US continues bombing Iran over the coming days, Tehran will launch “full-scale offensive operations”, according to state-controlled news agency IRIB. "Iran will no longer limit itself to retaliatory, like-for-like responses ... and no political border will be safe," he said.

Rezaee also said that the “policy of negotiating during war is over”. "Until now, we have not focused on expanding the war, nor on launching an invasion. Until now, the goal was deterrence, to put an end to the conflict.

We seized Hormuz to end the conflict," he said. An Iranian general warned no border will be safe if the US strikes continue past the next few days. Meanwhile, the US rejected Tehran's claims that two oil tankers exploded near the Strait of Hormuz.

Mohsen Rezaee has warned that if the US continues bombing Iran, Tehran will escalate its response into full-scale war.
