Iran's national security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, has warned the United States against doing "anything foolish," saying Iran's response would not be limited to American bases near its territory. The warning is part of the wider US-Iran conflict and was carried by an Iranian news agency.
What Rezaei said
Speaking in an interview with a Lebanese broadcaster, Rezaei said the bases that have already been targeted would not be the only ones Iran could reach. "Distant American bases will also be within our range," he said. The remarks suggest Tehran sees its reach extending well beyond the immediate area of the US-Iran conflict.
Claim about US drones
Rezaei also claimed that Tehran had managed to take control of American drones operating in the area and bring them down safely. He said seven of them were captured intact. These are Iranian claims, and no independent confirmation has been reported so far.
No US response to the warning or to the drone claim has been reported yet, so it is not clear how the situation will develop. Readers should treat the statements as Iran's position until more details are confirmed.
Aasan alfaaz mein
Iran ke qaumi salamati ke sarbarah Mohsen Rezaei ne America ko khabardar kiya hai ke koi "ahmaqana" qadam uthaya gaya to Iran ka jawab sirf qareeb ke bases tak mehdood nahi rahega. Unhon ne kaha ke door ke American bases bhi Iran ki range mein hain. Unhon ne yeh bhi daawa kiya hai ke Iran ne is ilaqe mein American drones par qabza karke saat drones bilkul theek haalat mein le liye. Abhi tak is daave ki tasdeeq aur America ka jawab saamne nahi aaya, is liye Pakistan ke log halaat par nazar rakhein.
