Mohsen Rezaei, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, said Friday evening that the policy of 'both negotiation and war is over' and warned that if the US continues its military campaign within the next two to three days, Iran will shift to a phase of 'total attack and annihilation of the enemy,' threatening that no political border will be safe from Iranian strike forces, according to Iranian reports.
Mohsen Rezaei, a senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, issued a new threat Friday evening, giving the United States a two-to-three day ultimatum to cease its military campaign or face 'total attack and annihilation,' according to Iranian reports. The statement, published at 22:40 Jerusalem time, follows a warning issued by Rezaei at 22:31 in which he declared the policy of 'both negotiation and war is over' and threatened that 'no political border will be safe.'
The new message adds a specific timeline, escalating the rhetoric. Rezaei said that if the US continues 'the war' in the next two to three days, Iran will shift to a phase of 'total attack and annihilation of the enemy,' and that no political border will be safe from Iranian strike forces. He stated that Iran would no longer be satisfied with a tit-for-tat response.
Rezaei, a former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has been issuing increasingly aggressive threats over the past month. As The Zioneer has reported, he previously warned of 'severe punishment' (July 9), threatened to extend the conflict to the Indian Ocean (June 5), and accused the US of intending to attack again (July 8). The latest ultimatum coincides with ongoing US military operations against Iran-linked targets.
It remains unclear whether the threat reflects a genuine shift in Iran's military posture or is intended as psychological warfare. No official confirmation from the Iranian government has been reported.
