Iran’s Army Spokesman Mohammad Akraminia Warns US of Surprising New Warfare Options

Iran’s army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia warned that if the ‘enemy’ were to strike again, they would face ‘surprising’ new methods of warfare and arenas of retaliation.

Akraminia said countries imposing sanctions on Iran would experience problems crossing the Strait of Hormuz, which he described as a critical waterway for global oil transportation.

In an interview carried by IRNA, Akraminiya said, “If the US makes a mistake again and attacks our country, they will surely face unexpected options.”

The same IRNA-linked account said the options would include more advanced and new equipment, new methods of warfare, and “most importantly, new areas,” with Tehran arguing Washington would not be able to foresee developments there.

Al Jazeera’s framing of Akraminia’s remarks tied Iran’s threatened retaliation to sanctions, saying that countries which sanction Iran will ‘face problems’ crossing the Strait of Hormuz.

The Oz Arab Media write-up similarly emphasized that Akraminia indicated countries imposing sanctions would experience problems crossing the Strait of Hormuz, describing it as a critical waterway for global oil transportation.

Pars Today added that Akraminia said the declaration of a ceasefire was a hypocritical move by the United States, and quoted him saying, “They announced that they would accept Iran’s proposal as the basis for negotiations and were ready to begin talks in Pakistan.”

Pars Today also quoted Akraminia saying that in the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, “we still consider the ceasefire situation to be a state of war.”

Fakti.bg reported that Akraminiya said that if the conflict spreads to new areas, Tehran will be able to “surprise the enemy,” because Washington would not be able to foresee such a development.

The Modern Ghana item repeated the same core warning from Akraminia that if the ‘enemy’ were to attack again, they would face ‘surprising’ new methods of warfare and arenas of retaliation.

Pars Today said Akraminia’s “surprise options” include more advanced and newer equipment, innovative methods of warfare, and “most importantly, new domains of conflict.”

Across the accounts, the threatened leverage is repeatedly linked to the Strait of Hormuz, with Akraminia warning that sanctions-linked countries would face difficulties in passing through the strait.
