Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a fresh warning to the United States and Israel, saying the Iranian military’s attack on major aluminium plants in the UAE and Bahrain were just
a “warning”, and a “more painful response” is coming.
In a statement shared by the IRGC on Thursday, it said that if enemies target Iranian industries, Iran will carry out a powerful response.
Earlier, IRGC claimed responsibility, targeting the facilities for their alleged ties to the US military. Reports say the strikes by the Iranian Army caused severe damage to the EGA plant in the UAE, leading to a potential uncontrolled shutdown of the smelter, which could take over a year to repair. Also, two employees were wounded at the Aluminium Bahrain plant.
US Prepares To Hit Iran ‘Hard’
This comes as Trump on Thursday, said US was planning to intensify military action against Iran in the coming weeks, saying Washington is prepared to “hit them extremely hard”.
Signalling an involvement of merely “two to three weeks”, Trump said the Iran war is “nearing completion”. “Tonight, I’m pleased to say that these core strategic objectives are nearing completion. We are going to finish the job. We are getting very close,” he said. The US President added: “We’ve done all of it. Their Navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone. Their missiles are just about used up or beaten. Taken together, these actions will cripple Iran’s military, crush their ability to support terrorist proxies and deny them the ability to build a nuclear bomb. Our armed forces have been extraordinary.”
