Mohsen Rezaei, a senior military adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader and former IRGC commander, says Iran’s missile and drone strikes have already forced U.S. forces to reshuffle bases from Kuwait to Erbil, Qatar, Jordan and Israel, and warns that with no ceasefire in place Iran “will by no means allow a second corridor to open in the Strait of Hormuz,” threatening to hit any aircraft carrier or warships that try to force a new route. He mocks Donald Trump’s claim of planning an operation “larger than World War II” as a “dream and fantasy,” says any future U.S. attack would now be weaker and likely limited to raids, notes that Iran paused planned strikes on three targets in Ukraine after Kyiv said a ship attack was a “mistake,” and argues that Trump’s talk of seizing Iran’s oil, gas and Hormuz would risk global backlash and even serve as a catalyst for a wider world war.
