CNBC, The Hill and the New York Post report that Iranian officials warned of a response if the United States renews attacks on Iran. CNBC says Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, claimed the military has prepared a new operational plan. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote on X that Iran has “unfinished jobs” too, according to The Hill and the Post. CNBC reports that maritime authorities said several separate attacks hit commercial vessels around the Arabian Peninsula. The Post ties the warning to repeated warnings by President Trump that America would “finish the job” if Tehran refuses to give up its nuclear ambitions.
