Iranian Guards Threaten New Targets and Weapons if US Attacks

Iran's Revolutionary Guards threatened Monday to target "new targets" with "new weapons" if the United States attacks, warning of significant changes in their defense and counter-offensive strategy. The Guards said they would use "new weapons with new capabilities on the battlefield" that would surprise the world, following reports that Washington had decided to take action against Iran with regional backing. The threat comes as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned that Iranian airlines would be unable to operate globally by September 23 due to sanctions, with fuel and landing services denied to violators. The warning follows over six months of US-Iran conflict, with negotiations stalled and fighting extended to Yemen and Saudi Arabia, though strikes have recently decreased.
