As US President Donald Trump makes intermittent comments about the war with Iran nearing its end, Iranian officials on Thursday vowed an unrelenting campaign across the Middle East, echoing comments attributed to new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei vowing revenge against the US and Israel.
“While starting a war is easy, it cannot be won with a few tweets. We will not relent until making you sorry for this grave miscalculation,” Iranian security chief Ali Larijani said on X.
Larijani also threatened to target power grids in the region if the United States attacked the Islamic Republic’s electricity supplies.
“If they do that, the whole region will go dark in less than half an hour and darkness provides ample opportunity to hunt down US servicemen running for safety,” said Larijani.
Trump had said US forces could knock out Iran’s electricity supply “within one hour” and leave the country with reconstruction that could take a generation.
Iran also threatened to wreak havoc on the region’s oil and gas industry if its own energy infrastructure was attacked.
“We will set the region’s oil and gas on fire with the slightest attack on Iran’s energy infrastructure and ports,” said a spokesman for the Iranian military’s central operational command, known as Khatam al-Anbiya.
And Iran’s powerful parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf warned Thursday that Tehran will “abandon all restraint” if the United States and Israel attack any of its islands in the Gulf.
“Any aggression against soil of Iranian islands will shatter all restraint. We will abandon all restraint and make the Persian Gulf run with the blood of invaders,” Qalibaf said in a post on X.

His days are numbered.
Come on Mossad! 🙏
Who’s going to tell him the war ended yesterday?
His statement could be taken more than one way.
I still wish this action wasn’t necessary.
This is a test of the ability to protect ships.
If the US Navy can’t reliably safeguard a tanker, it can’t safeguard an aircraft carrier.
Approximately 10% to 13% of Iran’s population lives in the city of Tehran, which has a population of around 9.6 to 10 million people out of a total national population of about 92 million. Including the greater metropolitan area, the concentration of the population is even higher, with roughly 1 in 10 Iranians living in the capital proper. OK, there are people who know where you are.
Iran has been at war against the West for almost 50 years. Some segments of Iran will be at war against the West or Christianity until the second coming when they will be defeated.
Hmmm. There’s supposed to be a cease fire, according to President Trump.
Wrong. A tanker is defenseless. A flattop is a war machine
Asymmetric warfare. We bomb their country to rubble, then blast the rubble to dust, and they activate the sleeper cells that have been imported into this nation since the days of the Clinton Administration, with a rapid acceleration in the years 2021 to early 2025.
Meanwhile, their allies within this country, the Democratique Partei, hold up highly critical funding with their partial shutdown of the funding for TSA, the Secret Service, the Coast Guard, and various enforcement agencies associated with the Department of Homeland Security, as a courtesy measure extended to the IRGC.
It was, and has been a long time coming. The IRGC have to be eradicated, and the Iranian pseudo-theocracy ended.
“there are people who know where you are”
Someone at Breitbart suggested the dropping of bolt-action rifles.
You are probably right. I still wish and pray for a peaceful world.
A few tweets...
Thats how he describes what has been done to Iran so far.
Really....
“A tanker is defenseless. A flattop is a war machine”
The flattop is defended by surrounding ships. It has protective weapons of its own, but those aren’t key.
“A tanker is defenseless. A flattop is a war machine”
Every US Navy warship should have the ability to defend itself and a fellow ship.
I do as well. But I also realize sometimes things have to be done that you’d prefer not to do, in order to achieve it and keep it.
