Iran warns any strike on infrastructure to leave US forces ‘paralyzed’, sunk
“If they make this mistake, we will paralyze them and drown them in the Persian Gulf,” Rezaei said on Tuesday.
A senior Iranian official has issued a stark warning to the United States, stating that any attack on the country’s infrastructure would result in a devastating response that would paralyze the enemy and sink its forces in the Persian Gulf.
Speaking in a Television interview, Member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council and a former commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Mohsen Rezaei, reacted to recent threats by US President Donald Trump regarding strikes on Iranian infrastructure.
“If they make this mistake, we will paralyze them and drown them in the Persian Gulf,” Rezaei said on Tuesday.
“They should know that the last lifelines for America are expiring, and their rational figures have little time left to save America from this quagmire.”
Rezaei noted that the conflict would not end until all sanctions are lifted, all damages are compensated, and legally binding international guarantees are provided to ensure no repetition of aggression against Iran. “There will be no ceasefire,” he emphasized.
He elaborated on a “filthy and detestable American-Zionist current” that emerged after the presidency of George W. Bush.
He argued this movement—comprising American and Zionist capitalists—reached its peak under Trump, though he noted a shift in dynamics.
“Under Bush, America dominated Israel, but today Trump follows Israel like a slave,” Rezaei stated.
He characterized the ideology behind this current as one that, on the Israeli side, advocates for a “Greater Israel” from the Nile to the Euphrates, and on the American side, seeks to establish international domination.
Rezaei warned that this US-Israeli movement has given rise to a form of violent Zionist racism and international despotism, citing ambitions ranging from Canada and Greenland to Venezuela.
“They consider their great peak and ultimate success to be domination over Iran,” he said.
He cautioned Arab nations that the scheme is not limited to Iran but encompasses the entire region.
“If the Arab governments knew what their sinister plan for the region is, they would be fighting alongside us today,” Rezaei added.
The US and Israel initiated an unprovoked aggression against Iran, assassinating former Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several high-ranking military commanders and civilians on February 28.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have launched a series of counterattacks, directing missile and drone strikes at American bases across the region and the Israeli-occupied territories.
