IRGC warns neighbouring countries: 'Restraint is over'; says will target US, allies' infrastructure

As US President Donald Trump's deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz looms, Tehran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Tuesday (local time) issued a warning to the neighbouring countries. The IRGC said, "restraint is over", adding that it will now target both the US and its partners' infrastructure, Reuters reported.

Additionally, the IRGC has threatened to disrupt regional oil and gas supplies for years. According to a Times of Israel report, the IRGC said that it will deprive the US and its allies of oil and gas if Washington crosses Tehran's "red lines."

According to a statement carried on state television today, "The Revolutionary Guards once again declare that if the American terrorist army crosses the red lines, our response will go beyond the region."

It added, "America’s regional partners should also know that until today, we have exercised great restraint for the sake of good neighborliness and have had some reservations in choosing targets for retaliation, but all these reservations have since been removed."

This is a developing story. More details awaited.
