Iran threatens US, Israel with tougher attacks

Following U.S. President Donald Trump’s vow to return Iran to the “Stone Age,” Tehran has retaliated with a defiant warning of “comprehensive, devastating attacks” and claims of a vast, secret arsenal hidden from Western intelligence.

Tehran has issued a blistering response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent national address, threatening “comprehensive, devastating attacks” on American bases and Israeli targets. Following the President’s vow to bomb Iran “back to the Stone Age,” a spokesman for the Iranian armed forces addressed the United States and Israel directly, using rhetoric that signaled a major escalation in the conflict. The spokesman dismissed recent Allied strikes on production centers as strategically inconsequential, insisting that Iran’s core military strength remains untouched. “Don’t hope that you have destroyed our missile production facilities, our long-range drones and our special equipment. With such a notion, you will only deepen the quagmire you are in,” the military official stated via the Isna news agency.

The Iranian military’s most alarming claim involves the existence of vast, “hidden” stockpiles and production facilities that have allegedly evaded Western surveillance. According to the spokesman, the centers currently being targeted by U.S. and Israeli precision strikes are “insignificant” compared to the nation’s true strategic assets. “The centers you are targeting are insignificant, and our strategic military production takes place in places you have no knowledge of and will never reach,” he asserted, adding that opponents “know nothing about our very extensive and strategic capabilities.” This claim of a shadow infrastructure suggests that the month-long air campaign may not have achieved the level of degradation previously claimed by the White House.

Concluding his remarks on Wednesday night, April 1, 2026, the Iranian spokesman left no room for diplomatic maneuvering, framing the conflict as a divine struggle that would end only with the total defeat of Western forces. “With trust in Almighty God, this war will continue until your final and irrevocable humiliation and surrender,” he declared, warning the U.S. and its allies to “wait for even harsher measures.” As the 8:00 p.m. deadline for the IRGC’s threatened strikes on U.S. tech hubs approaches, the international community remains on high alert for a potential “devastating” counter-offensive that could redefine the scope of the Middle East war.
