Supreme National Security Council secretary Mohsen Rezaei posted on X that the US would soon face Iran’s new approach in battlefield tactics, diplomacy, and response to economic blockades, asserting that it would destabilize US efforts.
US President Donald Trump stated on Tuesday that Washington had initiated a series of “large and powerful” strikes on Iranian targets near the Strait of Hormuz. These actions were described as retaliation for Iran‘s alleged attempt to place sea mines in the strait.
Trump reported that the United States was currently conducting strikes against Iranian positions, emphasizing their scale and strength in response to the perceived threat. He claimed all Iranian missiles fired at a US military base in Jordan were intercepted.
Trump also cautioned that any retaliatory actions by Iran would provoke an even stronger US response.
The US Central Command confirmed these strikes through a post on X, explaining they were a reaction to recent IRGC-initiated threats against commercial shipping and American forces in the region.
In response, Iran claimed it targeted US military sites in Jordan, the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Erbil in Iraq’s Kurdistan, describing these actions as self-defense. Iran called on regional countries to prevent US military operations from their territories.
