Iran’s military vows on Thursday to carry out “crushing” attacks against the United States and Israel after US President Donald Trump threatened to bomb the country into the “Stone Ages” in the coming weeks.

“With trust in Almighty God, this war will continue until your humiliation, disgrace, permanent and certain regret, and surrender,” says the military’s operational command Khatam Al-Anbiya in a statement carried by state TV.

“Await our more crushing, broader and more destructive actions.”
