'America will be paralyzed': Iran issues ‘eye for a head’ to Trump if US hits infrastructure

Iran issued an “eye for a head” warning to Donald Trump, saying the United States would face a harsher response if it attacks Iran’s infrastructure, as Tehran hardened its position on ending the war.Former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Mohsen Rezaei said the war would continue until “all damages to Iran are compensated and sanctions on it are lifted. Also, we want international guarantees of US non-interference in the Islamic Republic’s internal affairs - this is a decision of our country’s people, Supreme Leader, and armed forces,” Fars news agency reported. Rezaei said that if Trump attacks Iran’s infrastructure, “it will no longer be an eye for an eye, but an eye for a head, a hand, and a foot,” warning, “America will be paralyzed.”Iran has hardened its negotiating stance amid the ongoing conflict, with senior officials in Tehran signalling that any move toward peace talks would depend on sweeping concessions from Washington.At the core of Tehran’s position is a firm insistence that any negotiations must first end the war, while also securing guarantees against future military action, compensation for wartime losses, and formal control over the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.Trump said on Monday there were “major points of agreement” with Iran following discussions over the weekend, as the two sides continued talks amid the ongoing conflict.The US president also said the two sides were discussing a 15-point framework to end the conflict, adding that if the talks did not go well, “we just keep bombing our little hearts here.”Despite Trump’s claim that Washington had held “very, very strong talks” with Tehran more than three weeks into the conflict, Iranian officials have publicly denied any direct engagement.
