What to know

  • Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps warned it would deploy new weapons and hit new, previously unstruck targets if the US attacks again.
  • The threat follows an Iranian military claim two days earlier that Washington was preparing new action against Tehran.
  • Despite easing fighting, both sides maintain rival blockades in the Strait of Hormuz and the conflict has spread to Yemen via Houthi gains and attacks on Saudi targets.

“Our targets will not necessarily be the same as before either. We have new targets that have not yet been attacked.”

    A spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said Iran would introduce new weapons and strike new, previously unattacked targets if the US launches another attack, while sporadic Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz continue.
