Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hussein Mohabi issued a stark warning that Tehran stands ready for an extended military confrontation, vowing to expand operations to targets that have not been struck before and to deploy new weapons systems that will "shock the world."
The threats came in response to remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump, who declared he is in "decision mode" and presented Iran with three stark options: "wipe it out, let it rot with its economy, or make a deal."
Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian are both scheduled to arrive this week at the UN General Assembly in New York, setting the stage for what officials describe as an especially tense gathering.
Trump is set to address the Assembly on Tuesday, with Pezeshkian speaking Wednesday. According to Washington sources, the Iranian delegation will operate under strict movement restrictions on American soil and will face limited access to international media.
