Iran warns of full-scale offensive operations as the administration continues a week-long campaign of strikes against Iranian military targets.
The administration announced that U.S. forces have concluded their seventh day of strikes against Iranian military logistics, surveillance sites, and underground weapons storage. These operations, directed by President Trump, aim to hold the Iranian regime accountable for its recent acts of aggression. In response, Iran has escalated its own campaign, targeting U.S. military bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, and Jordan, while also striking critical civilian infrastructure such as power and water desalination plants in Kuwait. Major General Mohsen Rezaei, a senior military adviser to Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, warned that Iran will transition to a phase of full-scale offensive operations if the U.S. strikes continue for several more days. Meanwhile, the administration maintains a naval blockade on Iranian ports to degrade the regime's maritime capabilities. While Iran claims the U.S. is hitting civilian targets, the administration maintains that strikes have been exclusively focused on military objectives. As tensions rise, Iran has formally suspended its commitments to the existing memorandum of understanding with the United States.
