Iran has pledged to continue its military operations until its objectives are met, as tensions in the Gulf escalate. Iranian General Kioumars Heydari, deputy commander of Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters, said the country “will not abandon this war” and vowed to inflict heavy losses on the US. “It does not matter to us how many days this war lasts,” he told Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency. The IRGC warned that military and commercial vessels from the US, Israel, and allied European countries “will not be allowed to pass through” the region. Tensions in the Gulf continue to rise as both sides maintain a firm military posture, raising concerns over regional security and global shipping routes.
