The statement comes at a time when many countries are calling for urgent de-escalation between Washington and Tehran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Iran warns US of serious consequences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Iran\u2019s military advisor Mohsen Rezaei, speaking to the state-run IRNA news agency, warned that the \u201cdeadline to save America\u201d is approaching. He said the United States has very little time left to avoid deeper involvement in the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a televised interview, Rezaei said if the US targets Iran\u2019s infrastructure again, Tehran will respond with much stronger action. \u201cIf you strike our infrastructure, it will no longer be an eye for an eye, it will be a head for an eye; you will be crippled,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also warned Washington and said that Tehran will &#8220;paralyse you and drown you in the Gulf.&#8221; His comments come just a day after Donald Trump announced that the US would pause strikes on Iran\u2019s energy facilities and power plants for five days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Iranian leader further said that the war would continue until several conditions are met. These include full compensation for damages caused during the conflict, removal of economic sanctions against Iran, and guarantees from Washington that it will not interfere in Iran\u2019s internal affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Iran accuses Trump of psychological warfare<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rezaei also criticised Trump\u2019s approach to the conflict, calling his behaviour contradictory. According to him, Iran will not be distracted by what he described as psychological warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said Iran\u2019s resistance has already created confusion among its opponents and weakened their plans. \u201cIran\u2019s steadfastness and resistance have raised doubts among the aggressors,\u201d Rezaei added, stressing that the country will continue its fight if necessary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rezaei said if the US targets Iran\u2019s infrastructure again, Tehran will respond with much stronger action.
