Iran army spokesman Akraminia said on the 26th that Tehran does not see a
concrete US next-step strategy and judges Washington to be in a dilemma. He
listed possible US options as withdrawal, large-scale air strikes under Israeli
pressure, or a ground operation, and said Iran will watch US moves and is
prepared for various scenarios. Akraminia added the conflict’s geographic scope
has expanded to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and that Iranian actions have included
US targets from Jordan to the Gulf littoral states.
