Iran Warns of ‘Full-Scale Offensive’ if U.S. Strikes Continue; Pentagon Rejects Tanker Explosion Claims

Iran has warned that it will launch "full-scale offensive operations" unless the United States halts its military strikes within the next few days, significantly escalating tensions between the two countries.

Major General Mohsen Rezaei said Iran would respond forcefully if U.S. military operations continue, warning that "no border will be safe" should the strikes persist.

The warning came after the U.S. military announced that its recent operations targeted Iran's "surveillance sites, military logistics infrastructure, underground weapons storage, and maritime capabilities," describing the strikes as aimed at degrading Iran's military capacity.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon rejected Tehran's claims that two oil tankers had exploded near the Strait of Hormuz, disputing Iran's account of the reported incident.
