Tehran:Iranian Army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia has issued a stark warning that any new war initiated by the United States could extend beyond previous conflicts, emphasizing that Washington would not control its conclusion.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, Akraminia stated that a potential new conflict could surpass the duration of previous wars, with the U.S. President unable to dictate its length or terms of resolution.

He further elaborated that any American attack on Iran would provoke an immediate and extensive response, potentially broader than past operations, and noted that future confrontations might not be limited to the West Asia region. Akraminia highlighted Iran’s ongoing efforts to enhance its combat readiness and monitor American activities in the area.

These remarks come amid ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Iran, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of specific Iranian targets for potential strikes, despite continuing diplomatic efforts. Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that no final decision on military action has been made, with a preference for a diplomatic solution.

On a related note, Iranian Defense Minister Mehrdad Akhlaghi warned of a decisive and proportional response to any new attacks, asserting that those issuing threats will not determine Iran’s retaliatory measures.
