Iran just threw down the gauntlet. National security spokesman Ebrahim Rezaei has officially declared that "Tehran’s restraint is over," warning that any American move against Iranian ships will be met with direct strikes on U.S. vessels and bases. From telling Washington to "surrender and concede" to warning regional allies about passing through Hormuz, Iran is making it clear: the old rules of engagement are dead. A "new regional order" has arrived, and it’s backed by the threat of heavy retaliation.
