U.S. Central Command said it carried out a seventh consecutive night of strikes on Iran at 3 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday, describing the operation as part of an effort to keep degrading Iran’s military capabilities. The update came as Rezaei, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, warned that if Washington continues attacks over the next two to three days, Iran would abandon its previous deterrence and reciprocal retaliation approach and move into what he called a stage of “full-scale offensive and destruction.” He said that could include direct strikes on U.S. military bases and personnel outside the United States. Rezaei also said Iran had shown restraint to avoid a wider regional spillover, but argued that a U.S. “miscalculation” could push the situation toward escalation. He called on Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, along with other regional governments, to prevent the U.S. and Israel from expanding their actions, and said Washington’s strategy of pursuing “war and negotiations in parallel” had failed, adding that Iran would intensify its response in the coming days.
