A political deputy within Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy has warned that if the United States attempts to launch another attack on Iran, the country will deploy its “new cards”, an apparent reference to US President Donald Trump’s remarks claiming Washington has “all the cards”, Iran’s Fars news agency reports.

Speaking at a cemetery in Minab, Mohammad Akbarzadeh warns, “If the US wants to commit another miscalculation and attack the Islamic Republic of Iran, the IRGC Navy will employ its new cards, including in the field of smart targeting, and will burn the giant naval vessels of the criminal regime in its fire of rage, taking them out of operation.”

He further warns that in response to American aggression, Iran will “leverage its other instruments of power across other resistance fronts”, Fars adds.
