Iranian general threatens ‘long and painful strikes’ if US attacks Iran
Any US attack on Iran, even if limited, will usher in “long and painful strikes” on US regional positions, a senior Revolutionary Guards official is quoted by state media as saying.
“We’ve seen what happened to your regional bases, we will see the same thing happen to your warships,” Aerospace Force Commander Majid Mousavi adds, according to the Student News Network.
He is responding to an Axios report saying that the US military has prepared a plan for a “short and powerful” wave of strikes on Iran.
