Iran vows to ‘resist until the end,’ warns war could spread further

Iran’s army says it will “undoubtedly resist until the end and will neutralize American interventions in the region.”

Iranian army spokesman Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia says the only way to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is for the US to comply with the 14-point memorandum of understanding that the two sides signed in June and the implementation of “Iranian regulations” regarding ship traffic in the strait.

Akraminia says that if US President Donald Trump carries out his threat to attack Iran’s infrastructure, Iran’s armed forces would strike “all remaining infrastructure” across the region, and the response would be more severe, wider in scope and more destructive than previous attacks.

The army says it targeted US bases in Kuwait and Jordan, warning its neighbors that allowing the US to launch attacks against it will not go unanswered.

“Our neighbors should know that providing a base to the Americans and allowing them to fire on Iranian soil is unacceptable and will not go unanswered,” Iran’s army says.
