Iran says any strike on its infrastructure will leave US forces ‘paralyzed’

A senior Iranian official has issued a warning to the United States, saying that any attack on Iran’s infrastructure would bring a devastating response. He said such a response would “paralyze the enemy and sink its forces in the Persian Gulf.”

In a television interview, Mohsen Rezaei — who is a member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council and former commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — reacted to recent threats from U.S. President Donald Trump about strikes on Iranian infrastructure.

“If they make this mistake, we will paralyze them and drown them in the Persian Gulf,” Rezaei said on Tuesday. “They should know that the last lifelines for America are expiring, and their rational figures have little time left to save America from this quagmire.”

Rezaei also said the conflict would continue “until all sanctions are lifted, all damages are compensated, and legally binding international guarantees are provided to ensure no repetition of aggression against Iran.” He emphasized, “There will be no ceasefire.”

He criticized what he called a “filthy and detestable American‑Zionist current” that he said grew after the presidency of George W. Bush and peaked under Trump. Rezaei claimed that “under Bush, America dominated Israel, but today Trump follows Israel like a slave.”

Rezaei described the ideology behind this movement as one that on the Israeli side supports the idea of a “Greater Israel” from the Nile to the Euphrates, and on the American side seeks international domination. He warned that the plan is not only about Iran but affects the whole region.

He told Arab nations that if they understood the plan, they would support Iran. “If the Arab governments knew what their sinister plan for the region is, they would be fighting alongside us today,” Rezaei added.
