Iran's military leadership has threatened to respond to any new US offensive with new weapons and an expansion of the war's geography. A representative of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps made this statement on Sunday, September 21, without specifying what exactly is meant by "new weapons." The war between the US and Iran has been ongoing for nearly seven months. US President Donald Trump told Fox News on Sunday that he is considering several scenarios: "the complete destruction of Iran," the "economic ruin" of the country, or the resumption of negotiations. Trump also said he is "likely" ready to meet with the Iranian president on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. On Sunday, US diplomatic missions in the Middle East issued emergency security warnings for American citizens, urging them to exercise caution due to the "potential for unforeseen escalation."
