[67964] New Threat from the Revolutionary Guards: "We Will Expand the War Beyond the Borders of the Region"

Expanded Threat from Iran

Iran's Revolutionary Guards issued a harsh message today (May 20, 2026) directed at the US and Israel, in which they threatened that if the "attack" against the Islamic Republic continues, the current campaign will not remain limited to the Middle East region.

According to reports on Telegram channels affiliated with the Iranian regime, primarily اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری and خبرگزاری ایرنا, the Revolutionary Guards organization claimed that so far, not all the "strategic capabilities" at their disposal have been used. Their statement read: "If the attack against Iran is repeated, the promised regional war will stretch beyond the region", adding that "crushing blows in places you have not imagined will bring you to perdition."

Within the militant phrasing, the Iranian officials emphasized that they are "men of war" and that the enemy will see their power "on the battlefield and not in empty written statements," according to آخرین خبر. The threat comes against the backdrop of growing tension in the region, as the Iranian channels involved in this media campaign are taking an official line that emphasizes the strategic failures of the "most expensive armies in the world" – referring to the US and Israel.

The messages, which were distributed on 18 different channels throughout the day, emphasize that any future response from Iran will not be geographically limited, which constitutes a significant rhetorical escalation compared to past statements. So far, over 83,000 views have been recorded for the coverage of the topic on Telegram, which indicates the importance of the move in current Iranian propaganda.
