Iran has issued a fresh warning, claiming it is ready to deploy a new weapon that could alarm US and Israeli forces, following the rejection of a peace proposal by Donald Trump. The proposal reportedly involved reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for lifting the US blockade, but Washington chose to continue its naval restrictions in the region.

Speaking to state media, Iranian Navy Commander Shahram Irani said the country would soon confront its adversaries with a weapon “they are deeply afraid of,” adding that it is positioned close to enemy forces. He remarked that the development could be so shocking that it might give opponents a “heart attack,” while also dismissing US pressure tactics as ineffective.

Irani further claimed that Iranian forces had conducted at least seven missile operations targeting the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, alleging that the strikes temporarily disrupted its ability to launch aircraft. The situation highlights rising tensions in the region, particularly around the strategically crucial Strait of Hormuz.
