Iran's Revolutionary Guard Threatens New Targets and Weapons in War with US
Iran's Revolutionary Guard threatened Monday to strike new targets and change the geography of the war and the types of weapons used if the United States attacks Iran again, following recent exchanges of strikes in the ongoing conflict. The Guard's statement said new weapons with new capabilities would enter the battlefield, surprising the world, and that Iran is prepared for a long-term war. This follows a Saturday warning that all US bases and interests in the region would become targets if Washington errs in its dealings with Iran. The conflict began with US-Israeli strikes on February 28, leading Iran to effectively close the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Despite reduced traffic, oil flows from Saudi Arabia and Iraq have recovered, while oil prices fell Monday on hopes for diplomatic efforts at UN meetings this week.
