The military adviser to Iran’s supreme leader on Wednesday warned of more missile and drone strikes should the United States renew its attacks on Iran.

“Every shot fired and every attack will be met with a deluge of missiles and drones,” Mohsen Rezaei posted on X, adding that “the aggressor will swiftly be punished”.

The warning followed US strikes on an Iranian tanker and on Iran’s Qeshm island, sparking retaliatory attacks on Kuwait and Bahrain.
