Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned on Wednesday, May 27, that the country’s coastline could become a “graveyard for aggressors” if conflict with the United States resumes, even as Tehran said the likelihood of renewed war remained low.

“The possibility of war is low because of the enemy’s weakness, but the armed forces are lying in wait,” he told the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
Referring to the coastal stretch between Chabahar and Mahshahr, Akbarzadeh said Iran would respond forcefully to any future attack.
