Iran has warned it will “gradually increase” missile strikes on U.S. and Israeli targets, signaling a phased escalation in its retaliatory campaign. Officials linked to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps say operations by the “Axis of Resistance” could expand across multiple fronts, targeting key radar and air defence systems. Spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari claimed Iran’s most advanced missile capabilities remain unused, cautioning that future attacks may bring unexpected battlefield surprises. The warning follows sharp rhetoric from Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth, raising concerns that intensifying strikes and counter-threats could push the region toward a prolonged and far more dangerous conflict.
