- Iran's leader said the country’s response to an attack would have no “geographic limits,” making the warning open-ended in reach.
- Tehran said invading foreign forces would face a “killing ground,” explicitly addressing the consequences of foreign intervention.
- Iran army said a potential war could be “longer than the previous conflict,” contrasting the prospective war directly with the earlier one.
- Iran army said Trump would not dictate the war’s duration, directly contesting his authority over how long the fighting continues.
Why it matters: Trump is the named stakeholder in the timing dispute: the Iranian army rejects his authority over the war’s duration and describes a possible conflict extending beyond the previous one. The consequence is a two-part Iranian warning—geographic reach and duration—with Trump denied control over the clock.
