Iranian attacks will intensify in coming days: IRGC spokesman
TEHRAN – Iran will strike U.S. and Israeli assets in the region with greater intensity in the coming days, declared Major General Ali Mohammad Naeini, the spokesman for the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), in a Tuesday interview with Iranian media.
"The enemies should expect continuous attacks from Iran," the military official stated. "The gates of hell will open wider for the U.S. and the Zionist regime every moment."
Iran launched Operation 'True Promise 4' less than two hours after Israel and the U.S. launched their initial strikes on Iranian soil Saturday morning. Their aggression that day killed the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, as well as 171 schoolgirls in southern Iran. The two regimes have continued to attack schools, hospitals, and residential buildings ever since.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran’s military response on the first and second days of the current war was stronger and more crushing than those during the 12-day war in June 2025," Naeini noted.
He added that Iran’s missiles have been upgraded and are more advanced. "The number of missiles hitting their targets has been beyond the enemies’ expectations and has taken them by surprise," he said.
Since the war began, Iran has simultaneously and incessantly struck U.S. bases in the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Iraq, as well as Israeli positions in the occupied territories. The resulting damage has been unprecedented in the history of the U.S. military. Iran has also downed three American F-15 fighter jets in Kuwait, 19 Hermes drones, three MQ9 drones, and destroyed two THAAD air defence systems in the region.
Meanwhile, reports from American media suggest the Pentagon is running out of interceptors to fend off Iranian missiles and drones. Korean media has reported that the U.S. is requesting ammunition from South Korea and Japan.
During an appearance on Iran's national TV on Tuesday, the spokesman for Iran's Defence Ministry said the country is prepared to fight for an extended period.
"Our defensive assessments indicate that, unlike our enemy, we have the capability for resistance and offensive defense that will last several times longer than the duration the enemy has predicted for this war," Major General Reza Talaei-Nik stated.
"Various upgraded weapon systems will be introduced over time; we are not planning to deploy all of our assets on the first few days," he added.
Also, during a televised interview, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee announced that Iran has many missiles it has yet to disclose.
"The enemy underestimated our military capabilities. The damage we have inflicted on the U.S. and Israel so far will intensify in the coming days. The Islamic Republic possesses yet-to-be-tested missiles," Alaeddin Boroujerdi explained.
Tehran had warned that if the U.S. were to attack it again amidst nuclear negotiations—as it did in June 2025— it would strike all U.S. bases in the region, as well as the occupied territories, in a "regional war." Iran's allies in Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq also stated they would enter the war in Iran’s favor.
There have already been reported attacks by Iraqis on U.S. assets in Iraq, and by Lebanese Hezbollah forces against Israel for its continuous violation of a 2024 ceasefire deal in recent days. The powerful Ansarullah in Yemen has yet to intervene.
Analysts suggest that the Yemenis, along with the Lebanese and Iraqis, will become much more greatly involved once Iranian missiles and drones have depleted U.S. and Israeli interceptors and destroyed the most important logistical assets. Experts suggest this will happen soon, perhaps in less than two weeks.
