Iran Warns of Full-Scale Offensive: 'No Border Will Be Safe'

Tehran Issues Blunt Ultimatum

Iran has issued a stark warning to the United States, threatening a full-scale offensive if American airstrikes do not stop. The statement, carried by multiple Iranian state-affiliated outlets, declares that 'no political border will be safe' in the event of further escalation.

The warning comes after the seventh consecutive night of US airstrikes on targets inside Iran. Military officials in Tehran have framed the response as a direct and immediate consequence of continued American aggression.

IRGC Navy Claims Control Over US Naval Units

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has made an extraordinary claim. It says that all naval units of the US Central Command (CENTCOM) operating in the region are now under its direct surveillance and supervision. The IRGC has warned the US that 'zero hour' is approaching.

This assertion, while unverifiable, signals a significant shift in rhetoric. It suggests that Iran is preparing for a confrontation not just on land, but in the strategic waterways of the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, where US carrier groups regularly operate.

Red Sea Gateway at Risk

In a related development, sources have told Reuters that Iran has instructed its Houthi allies in Yemen to prepare to close the Red Sea gateway. This order is contingent on a specific trigger: a US strike on Iran's power network.

Closing the Red Sea chokepoint would effectively block one of the world's busiest shipping lanes. Such a move would cripple global trade and send oil prices soaring, marking a dramatic escalation of the conflict beyond direct US-Iran exchanges.

Seventh Night of Airstrikes

US airstrikes have now entered their seventh consecutive night. The Pentagon has described the operations as targeting 'critical Iranian military infrastructure' linked to drone production and missile batteries. No official casualty figures have been released by either side.

Iranian media, however, has reported widespread damage to civilian areas in several provinces. The Iranian Foreign Ministry has summoned the Swiss ambassador, who represents US interests in Tehran, to lodge a formal protest. The ministry has described the American campaign as 'a war of annihilation' and warned of an 'unimaginable response'.

Independent analysts note that the scale of the current US bombing campaign is unprecedented since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The situation has drawn sharp reactions from Russia and China, both of whom have called for an immediate de-escalation.

What Comes Next

The coming hours are critical. The US has not publicly responded to Iran's latest threat. All eyes are on whether Washington will pause its airstrikes or double down, and whether Tehran will follow through on its promise to make every border unsafe.
