Iran issued an “eyes for a head” warning to Donald Trump, saying the United States would face a strong response if Iran’s infrastructure was attacked, as Tehran toughened its position on ending the war.Former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Mohsen Rezaei said the war would continue until “all damages caused to Iran are compensated and sanctions imposed on it are lifted. In addition, we want international guarantees of US non-interference in the internal affairs of the Islamic Republic – this is the decision of our country’s people, supreme leader and armed forces,” Fars news agency reported.
Rezaei said that if Trump attacks Iran’s infrastructure, “it will no longer be an eye for an eye, but an eye for a head, hands and feet,” warning, “America will be paralyzed.”Iran has toughened its negotiating stance amid the ongoing conflict, with senior Tehran officials indicating that any steps toward peace talks will depend on broad concessions from Washington.At the core of Tehran’s position is a firm insistence that any negotiations must first end the war, as well as guarantees against future military action, compensation for war losses, and formal control of the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.Trump said on Monday there were “major points of agreement” with Iran following discussions over the weekend, as the two sides continued talks amid the ongoing conflict.The US President also said that the two sides were discussing a 15-point framework to end the conflict, and said that if the talks did not go well, “we will keep bombing our little hearts here.”Despite Trump’s claims that Washington had had “very, very strong talks” with Tehran more than three weeks into the conflict, Iranian officials have publicly denied any direct involvement.
