Threats from Iran: "Horrific blows - in new geographical arenas"

The front pages of Iranian newspapers are filled with threats against the US and Israel a day before the midterm elections, with headlines about "horrific blows" in new geographical arenas if attacks resume. The newspapers quote senior officials promising a response without geographical limits, call the negotiators "mentally ill," and threaten American bases.

A day before the US midterm elections, the front pages of major Iranian newspapers are filled with explicit threats against the United States and Israel. The message from Tehran is clear: if attacks resume, the response will expand to new areas. The newspaper "Hamshahri" declared "readiness to execute the order" with images of commanders and missiles, and at the bottom of the page, senior security officials are quoted promising a response "without geographical limits." The newspaper "Javan" called the negotiators "the mentally ill of the negotiating table," alongside threats of "horrific blows using new weapons" and "breaking America's horn." The newspaper "Kayhan," a regime mouthpiece, presents the Strait of Hormuz as a complicating factor and quotes the Revolutionary Guard spokesman on "identifying new targets and planning operations in new geographical arenas." At the center of "Vatan-e-Emrooz"'s front page is a picture of Mohsen Rezaei in uniform, and the headline emphasizes "firm standing on the interests of the people" and a demand to fulfill seven conditions as a prerequisite for talks with the US. The article does not include an official response from the US or Israel to the threats.
