"A head for an eye": Iran warns Trump that US' "final deadline" is near

Mohsen Rezaei, Iran's new military adviser and former Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps commander, has warned that Iran will "paralyse" the United States and "sink" its ships in the Arabian Gulf and appeared to set US President Donald Trump a "deadline" to save America. In a televised interview on Tuesday on Iran's state-funded news agency IRNA, Rezaei said, "The final deadlines for saving America are approaching." He also warned Trump that there is not "much time left to rescue the United States from this quagmire". "If you attack the infrastructure of the Islamic Republic of Iran, our response will no longer be an eye for an eye, but rather a head for an eye; we will paralyse you and drown you in the Gulf," Rezaei claimed.

He said that the Israeli regime tricked the Trump administration into the war with a dream of "Greater Israel" and that now Trump stands confused between US commanders and Israel. Calling the war 'illegal', he said that the war in Iran will not end until all sanctions are lifted, damages compensated and there is an international legal guarantee that the aggression against Iran will not be repeated. Rezaei further said that the US and Israel have over 47 years of enmity towards the Islamic Republic and even helped former dictator Saddam Hussein in his war against Iran. He claimed that since then, the two countries -- Israel and the US -- have been hatching plots and conspiracies. He said that the US was at the peak of its tyranny after threatening Canada and Greenland and with its operation in Venezuela that captured former president Nicolas Maduro.
