The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement warning the United States to come to Iran's territories, saying that 'sharks in the southern ocean are eagerly awaiting American meat.' The threat, reported by a single source, comes amid ongoing US-Iran tensions.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement characterized by rhetorical escalation, warning the United States to 'come to Iran's territories' where 'sharks in the southern ocean are eagerly awaiting American meat.' The phrasing appears to be a sarcastic or hyperbolic threat, consistent with the IRGC's pattern of aggressive messaging directed at the US. The message was reported by a single source and has not been independently verified. The Zioneer has previously covered multiple IRGC threats and declarations of readiness in recent weeks, though this specific statement does not reference any particular trigger or military operation. The direct call for the US to enter Iranian territory is unusual in its phrasing.
