Iran new weapons are reportedly ready for use if the United States launches another attack, according to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards spokesperson Hossein Mohebbi. His remarks were reported by Iran’s Fars news agency and come amid continued tensions between Washington and Tehran.
Mohebbi said Iran would change both its weapons and the geography of the conflict if another offensive takes place. The statement indicates that Tehran is preparing for a possible expansion of military operations if fighting resumes or intensifies between the two countries.
The Iranian official also said Tehran has targets that were not previously attacked. He did not publicly identify those locations or provide specific details about the weapons Iran says it has prepared. The comments therefore leave the potential scope of any future response unclear.
The warning comes as the United States and Iran remain locked in a prolonged conflict. Iranian forces have repeatedly warned that new attacks could trigger further retaliation against US interests and military positions in the region.
Iran new weapons and possible new targets could widen the geographic scope of the conflict if they are used. The development also raises concerns about further pressure on regional security and important transportation routes in the Gulf, including the Strait of Hormuz.
Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has already fallen sharply amid the continuing tensions. Reuters reported that only 17 commodity vessels crossed the waterway over the weekend, compared with 37 the previous week and a much higher pre-war daily average.
Mohebbi said Iran is prepared for a prolonged conflict, reinforcing Tehran’s position that it remains ready for further military confrontation. At the same time, diplomatic efforts continue, with Iran communicating conditions for renewed negotiations through international mediators.
