Iran’s Revolutionary Guards have warned of “even more intense” punitive strikes against the United States and Israel, AFP reports, as regional tensions soar following recent military confrontations. A spokesman for the elite force, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, told state television that “the enemy must await continuous punitive attacks” and that “the gates of hell will open more and more” on Washington and Jerusalem.
The comments signal Tehran’s intent to escalate its military response in the face of mounting pressure and ongoing hostilities in the Middle East. The warning underscores deepening animosity between Iran and its adversaries, with both sides engaged in a cycle of strikes and counter-strikes that has heightened fears of a broader regional conflict. Analysts say such rhetoric could foreshadow further confrontations across multiple fronts.
