Iran's Revolutionary Guards Warn of Surprise New Weapons if US Attacks

Iran's Revolutionary Guards threatened Monday to target "new targets" with "new weapons" if the United States attacks, warning that "the world will be surprised" by their enhanced capabilities. The Guards stated that any new US attack would prompt "significant changes" in their defense and counter-offensive, including altering "the geography of the war" and changing the military equipment used. This warning follows Saturday's claim by Iran's central military command that the US had decided to take action against Iran with regional approval. The threat comes amid stalled negotiations after over six months of US-Iran conflict, which has expanded to Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Exchanges of strikes intensified in late August after a month of calm, particularly in the strategic Strait of Hormuz, though they have recently appeared to decrease.
