Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee, warned that 'this time, the war will not be limited to the region' and claimed U.S. casualties are 'already far higher than Trump confirms, and will rise,' according to reports by Abu Ali Express and Barak Betesh (i24NEWS).
Iranian MP Ebrahim Azizi, chairman of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, issued a stark warning on Wednesday evening as the U.S. air campaign against Iran intensifies. In statements reported by multiple Israeli-aligned sources, Azizi said Iran is not afraid to fight 'losers' and asserted that American casualties are already significantly higher than Washington has acknowledged. 'This time, the war will not be limited to the region. We'll see what happens,' he added. The remarks come amid a major escalation: U.S. President Donald Trump announced earlier Wednesday a secret mission that secured the passage of over 200 commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz, claiming the Iranian military is 'defeated.' Trump also declared an end to the ceasefire and vowed 'very hard' strikes on Iran. Earlier this week, U.S. forces launched 'Operation Epic Fury,' a campaign of sustained airstrikes targeting Iranian air defense, radar, and naval infrastructure, following the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter. As The Zioneer reported, Iran has closed airspace north of Tehran and activated defensive systems near Qeshm Island. US officials have signaled readiness for additional waves of strikes. Tehran's Foreign Ministry has accused the US of deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, calling it a 'planned war crime.' Reports from an Iranian channel also indicated American fighter jets over Iraq on Wednesday evening, though this was not independently verified.
