Iran Threatens ‘Long and Painful’ Strikes on US Warships if Trump Resumes Bombing

Iran has warned it will launch “long and painful strikes” against United States positions if Washington renews military action, as tensions persist over the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and stalled efforts to end the conflict. The warning comes nearly two months into the US-Israeli war with Iran, with a ceasefire formally in place since April 8 but key disputes unresolved. Iran has continued to block the Strait of Hormuz a critical global shipping route in response to a US naval blockade targeting its oil exports. The closure has disrupted around a fifth of the world’s oil and gas supplies, pushing up energy prices and raising concerns about wider economic fallout. A senior official in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said any renewed US attack, even if limited, would trigger sustained retaliation. “Any new aggression will be met with long and painful strikes,” the official said. Aerospace Force Commander Majid Mousavi also warned US naval assets could be targeted. Story continues below this ad “We’ve seen what happened to your regional bases; the same can happen …
