Iranian commander warns US ships could be targeted in escalation

An account attributed to the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force has warned that the United States could face “long and extensive strikes” in response to any military operations against Iran, including attacks that are brief or sudden.

In a post published on the platform Upscroll, Majid Mousavi, described as the IRGC aerospace force commander, issued a direct warning to Washington over its regional military presence.

“We will respond to enemy operations, even if they are sudden and short, with painful, long and extensive strikes,” according to the post on Upscroll.

The message further suggested that US military assets in the region could be targeted, drawing a parallel between past strikes on American bases and potential future actions at sea.

“We saw the fate of your bases in the region; we will see your ships too,” it added.
