Our patience is over, Iran warns of retaliation tonight

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Iran’s Aerospace Commander on Sunday issued a chilling warning to the international community, declaring that tonight the world will witness Iran’s true strength in response to the US attack on nuclear sites.

According to the 24NewsHD TV channel, in a bold statement, the IRGC claimed it has successfully tracked the American aircraft involved in the assault on Iranian territory, and now Washington must prepare to face the consequences.

“The American government”, the Guards stated, “has learnt nothing from past wars in the Middle East. By launching this attack, they have placed themselves on the front line of conflict.”

Adding to the tension, Iran’s Aerospace Commander delivered a clear and forceful message, saying, “Our patience has run out. After the US bombing, America will pay the price. Tonight, the world will see Iran’s power.”

Earlier, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said that America entered the war to its own detriment, and now the damage to America will be much greater than that to Iran.

Hossein Shariatmadari, a senior advisor to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, stated that "you started it; we will finish it," marking a dramatic escalation in the regional conflict.

Hossein Shariatmadari issued a fiery warning, stating that in response to the US strike, Iran "must now take its turn".

He advocated for direct missile strikes on US naval ships and called for the closure of the vital Strait of Hormuz to American, British, German, and French shipping traffic.

Shariatmadari, who is also the editor-in-chief of the hardline Kayhan newspaper and a long-time conservative voice, stressed that Iran’s response should be swift and unhesitating.

A Telegram message attributed to him stated, "Without hesitation or delay, we must begin by launching missile strikes on the US naval fleet stationed in Bahrain and immediately shut down the Strait of Hormuz for Western maritime traffic."
