According to CCTV, Mohsen Rezaei, one of Iran's senior military advisers, warned that if the United States continues its attacks for another two to three more days, the Iranian Armed Forces will enter a "full-scale and devastating" phase.

Rezaei, military adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, said in remarks to state broadcaster IRIB that the policy of "both war and negotiation" had come to an end.

Rezaei argued that Iran had so far exercised restraint to prevent the conflict from turning into a broader regional and international crisis, accusing the United States of "miscalculation" by transforming the conflict into a regional crisis.

He said that if the United States continues its attacks against Iran, Tehran will no longer limit itself to retaliatory strikes and that U.S. bases and forces will not be safe within any political borders.

Rezaei added that Iran could also deploy additional military capabilities, including its ground forces, warning that the scope of the conflict could expand.

He stated that Iran's current responses to U.S. attacks were already "very severe" and said the intensity of military operations would increase in the coming days. He added that the United States "should be prepared for expanded waves of missile and drone attacks."

Rezaei also argued that the bilateral memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States had effectively ended due to Washington's "persistent violations," citing Israel's continued presence in southern Lebanon, U.S. attacks on Iran's coastal regions, and the continued freezing of Iranian assets that had been pledged for release.

The U.S. military said in recent days that it had carried out waves of strikes against southern Iran in response to Iranian Armed Forces targeting ships in the Strait of Hormuz, adding that the operations were intended to reduce Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping.

Iran, in turn, has been responding with missile and drone attacks against U.S. military bases and facilities across the region.
