Iran issued a warning to the United States on Sunday, saying Washington should understand that the rules in its war against Tehran have changed \u201cbefore it is too late\u201d. It further threatened a \u201cmore painful\u201d response, a day after the US struck several Iranian tankers in the Gulf, Reuters news agency reported.<\/p>\n

\""From“From now on, any attack against Iran\u2019s interests and security will receive a faster, heavier and more painful response,” Ghalibaf said in a warning to US. (Bloomberg\/ Trump)<\/p>\n

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, in a speech published on his Telegram channel, said, \u201cFrom now on, any attack against Iran\u2019s interests and security will receive a faster, heavier and more painful response.\u201d<\/p>\n

This comes amid renewed hostilities between Washington and Tehran, after a brief lull in fighting during which the US was seeking to ramp up economic pressure on Iran. The remarks also mark a shift in the Iranian regime’s stance, after some of its senior leadership had urged an end to the war claiming that Tehran was already in a victorious position.<\/p>\n

Iran says it hit US boat, targeted oil tankers after CENTCOM strikes<\/p>\n

Iran’s state-run media earlier on Sunday said a US vessel was trying to enter a restricted area in the Strait of Hormuz, saying the boat was hit, according to the Associated Press. The US Central Command, which oversees American military operations in the Middle East, did not confirm the claim or make any comment on the same.<\/p>\n

Iran also said it had targeted three oil tankers using an unauthorised route through the Strait of Hormuz, as well as a number of US-linked ships, Bloomberg reported<\/p>\n

This comes a day after the US CENTCOM said it had struck three<\/a> Iranian oil tankers following missile attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps \u201ctoward two US Navy warships patrolling regional waters.\u201d The US CENTCOM said the targeted Navy warships had \u201csuccessfully evaded\u201d the multiple Iranian attacks, calling the strikes \u201cunprovoked\u201d. It said that no American personnel were harmed in the attack.<\/p>\n

Following the strikes, the US CENTCOM had also warned the IRGC of a \u201chigher economic cost.\u201d \u201cWe will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, destroy Iran\u2019s limited and exposed oil fleet,\u201d US Admiral and CENTCOM Commander Brad Cooper said.<\/p>\n

The war had begun with the US-Israel attacks on Iran on February 28. A ceasefire arrangement was signed by Washington and Tehran, but unravelled quickly over sticking points, including the Strait of Hormuz. On-and-off exchanges of fire from both sides, primarily over shipping in the waterway, have continued, with the US also launching Operation Economic Outcast. Under the operation, the Trump administration is looking to sever \u201ccritical financial lifelines\u201d of the Iranian economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iran issued a warning to the United States on Sunday, saying Washington should understand that the rules in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":280256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[76376,34,76377,7674,57994,224,76375],"class_list":["post-280255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iran","tag-gulf-strikes","tag-iran","tag-iran-strikes-us-tanker","tag-iran-warns-us","tag-tanker-strikes","tag-us-iran-war","tag-us-strikes-irgc-tankers"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117224013054239097","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=280255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/280255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/280256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=280255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=280255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=280255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
