Iran Warns US of Strikes Without Geographic Limits, Citing Stronger Forces

Iran has warned the United States it will strike American targets without "geographic restrictions" if Washington launches fresh attacks, with Iranian forces claiming to be stronger than at the war's start in February. Army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia said Iranian forces gained experience from direct confrontation with the US and Israel and are now on higher alert, with any response ordered by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. He also linked reopening the Strait of Hormuz to Iran's seven conditions. The warning follows US President Donald Trump's renewed threats, saying Washington is "locked and loaded" for further action but has not made a final decision. Trump partly agreed with Vice President JD Vance that the war contributed to Republican midterm losses, though he defended the campaign.
