Iran Rejects US backed 10-day ceasefire As IRGC Target Military Facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait with missiles and drones
Iran Rejects US backed 10-day ceasefire As IRGC Target Military Facilities in Bahrain, Kuwait with missiles and drones

| Iran's Supreme Leaders |
Iran has rejected a U.S.-backed 10-day Qatari ceasefire proposal, with senior Iranian analyst and close adviser to Iran's negotiating team Mohammad Marandi dismissing the offer with a blunt message: "Don't even think about it."
The proposal reportedly called for a 10-day truce that would reopen two shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz. Marandi has previously said Iran has "no plans" to resume negotiations, citing a "fundamental lack of seriousness" from the Trump administration, while Iranian officials have repeatedly said talks will not resume until the threat against Iran has ended.
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has issued a sharp warning to the United States, dismissing Washington’s military buildup in the region as contradictory to its public calls for de-escalation.
Ghalibaf said the United States continues to move additional military equipment into the Middle East while claiming it is seeking to stop the war, adding that Washington has “bet on our intelligence being as brief as their own IQ.” He stated that Iran has reached a stage where it fully understands what he described as American tactics and has prepared accordingly, stressing that “actions must confirm claims, not contradict them.”
Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Monday they had targeted US military facilities in Bahrain and Kuwait with missiles and drones, including Al-Sakhir Air Base and Bin Salman Port in Bahrain and Arifjan Base in Kuwait.
In a statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps said its navy strikes formed part of what it called the 23rd wave of "Nasr 2" operations and included attacks on facilities it said were used to maintain US drones, prepare naval vessels and support special operations forces.
The Guards said the attacks inflicted heavy damage and that operations against what they described as US military targets in the region would continue.
The statement also rejected comments by US President Donald Trump suggesting Iran was running low on missiles and drones, saying it would continue launching such weapons for as long as any conflict lasted.
Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says negotiations with the US could be pursued based on national interests
Baghaei says intermediaries have shared messages with Tehran over recent days.
IRGC said they would deliver what they described as a "memorable lesson" to the United States if it carried out further attacks, reaffirming their support for Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei.
The Guards said they would not rely on US pledges, arguing that past experience had reinforced their distrust of Washington.
"If the criminal United States once again chooses the path of aggression, we remain committed to delivering the 'memorable lesson' promised by the Leader," the statement said.
Iranian President has said on Monday Iran is fighting a "full-scale war" with the United States, adding that managing the home fronts is very necessary to ensure that the Iranians didn't suffer as Washington expanded its strikes across the Islamic republic including a city hosting a nuclear power plant.
Iran's Military spokesperson Brigadier General Akraminia said the war will go on until Iran achieves full deterrence, stressing this is based on rationality and experience—not emotion. Without it, he warned, the enemy would miscalculate and attack again.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said late on Sunday that Iran is using the Strait of Hormuz as leverage in the war, adding that other countries need to "step up" pressure to protect global shipping. Iranian Times reported.
While rejecting the ceasefire, Tehran still dept open, diplomatic doors as Iran’s Interior Minister, Eskandar Momeni, traveled to Pakistan on July 20, at the invitation of Pakistan’s Interior Minister, Syed Mohsin Naqvi, heading a high-level delegation.
The delegation accompanying the minister includes representatives from the Ministries of Interior, Foreign Affairs, Roads and Urban Development, and Agriculture, as well as officials from the Law Enforcement Command (FARAJA) and the Customs Administration.

Iran strikes US warship LHA7, forcing it to retreat
"The helicopter carrier and amphibious ship LHA7 of the US Army, with over 5,000 sailors and marines on board, came under Iranian attack, after which it was forced to retreat deep into the southern Indian Ocean," Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said in a statement published by Iran's state broadcaster.
Iran’s atomic energy chief Mohammad Eslami accused the UN nuclear watchdog of inaction that he said emboldens aggression against nuclear facilities such as the Bushehr power plant, in a letter to the IAEA director, Reuters reports.
However, IAEA has warned that attacks near the nuclear facility in Iran pose a very real danger to nuclear safety and must stop.
The agency reiterates call for all parties to fully respect the 7 indispensable pillars for ensuring nuclear safety and security during a conflict. A nuclear facility and surrounding areas should never be struck
Based on its independent analysis of new satellite imagery and detailed knowledge of the site, the IAEA can confirm recent impacts of military strikes close to Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP), including one just 75 metres from the site perimeter. The BNPP itself has not been damaged, the IAEA’s analysis of the 5 April imagery shows.
Once again, IAEA Director General @rafaelmgrossi warns that continued military activity near the BNPP - an operating plant with large amounts of nuclear fuel - could cause a severe radiological accident with harmful consequences for people and the environment in Iran and beyond.
Regardless of the nature of the intended targets, DG Grossi says such attacks pose a very real danger to nuclear safety and must stop. DG Grossi reiterates call for all parties to fully respect the 7 indispensable pillars for ensuring nuclear safety and security during a conflict.

US will regrets miscalculation: Iran is ready for a long war, unlike Washington - Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Larijani
A Senior Iranian official, Ali Larijani has said Iran has prepared for a long war and is acting only in self-defense in the current conflict with the United States and Israel.
In a post on his X page, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said Iran did not start the war and that its armed forces had engaged only in defensive action. He said Iran would defend itself “regardless of the costs” and would make its enemies regret what he called a miscalculation.
They knew that they would be next sometime in the future
Hence, Iran may never involved in any ceasefire against the United States and Israel as a retaliations for all the Iranian leaders killed including the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday said the conflict with Iran “is not Iraq” and would not become an endless war, describing current operations as limited and focused on eliminating specific military threats.
“This is not endless,” Hegseth said at a news conference, adding that the mission was “clear, devastating and decisive” and aimed at destroying Iran’s offensive missile capabilities, missile production and naval assets so that it will “never have nuclear weapons.”
Will Iran stop the retaliatory attacks for any negotiations with the US and Israeli?
Iranian Gen. Jabbar has said the Americans have relocated the majority of their aircraft to Cyprus; we will launch so many missiles at Cyprus that they will be forced to flee from there as well.
According to a report by Al Jazeera, US Air Force General Dan Caine, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, says the joint US-Israeli attacks on Iran is "not a single overnight mission... We expect to take additional losses."
In a telephone conversations, China's foreign minister tells Iran counterpart Beijing 'supports Iran in defending its sovereignty, security, territorial integrity': state media
All U.S. military bases have been placed on heightened alert under Threat Condition signaling an increased risk of attack.
Spain has officially barred the United States from using its bases to support strikes on Iran, says PM Pedro Sánchez.
According to Tehran Times, the Iran's IRGC has reportedly destroyed the oil tanker Stena Imperative, which was flying the United States flag, while it was in the port of Bahrain. The vessel was hit by Iranian drone or missile fire on Monday, according to the Reuters and other outlets that cited the maritime security firm Vanguard Tech. There was no immediate comment from US authorities.
IRGC in a statement on Monday said: We’ve just started using the 2nd generation missiles today. In the upcoming days, you’ll witness the 3rd, 4th, 5th & 6th generation missiles if needed.
Gen. Jabbari: To date, we have launched approximately 3,000 first- and second-generation missiles and approximately 10,000 drones
In the coming days, we will certainly deploy third- and fourth-generation missiles.
Iran says has ‘no choice’ but to fight back, holds no enmity toward American people

The Islamic Republic of Iran has warned US its bases will be targeted if it backed an Israeli response against Tehran.
According to Mohammad Bagheri who is the chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces, an Israeli response to the Iranian military operation would be “much bigger”, Tasnim reports.
The Iranian news agency quoted him as saying that the reason for last night’s attack was that Israel had crossed Iran’s red lines.
Bagheri added that Iran has conveyed a message to the US through the Swiss embassy that if it participated “in further aggressive Zionist moves through its bases or military assets across the region, and this is proven to us, its bases and assets and personnel in the region will have no security”.
He added: “We will see it as aggressor as well and react accordingly.”

Iranian Deputy FM revealed how US demanded Iran not to respond after Qassem Soleimani assassination
“The US had sent a message to Iran via the Swiss ambassador (whose mission also acts as Washington’s interests section in Tehran) to demand Iran not to give a response, but it was rejected immediately,” Baharvand said on Sunday, as reported by Iran’s Fars News Agency.
The January 3 assassination strike near Baghdad International Airport also killed Deputy Commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, four IRGC officers and four PMF troops. IRGC forces responded on January 7 with ballistic missile strikes on Al Asad Airbase and an airbase near Erbil, both facilities in Iraq which house US troops.
The deputy foreign minister’s allegations come shortly after the conclusion of a United Nations investigation into Soleimani’s killing led by Agnes Callamard, the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions.
According to the rapporteur, the US’ strike was “directed not only at Iran but also Iraq.” The report highlighted that because the attack took place on Iraqi soil and without Baghdad’s permission, Washington “violated” the country’s sovereignty.
Furthermore, Callamard insisted that it would be “hard to imagine that a similar strike against a Western military leader would not be considered as an act of war, potentially leading to intense action, political, military and otherwise, against the State launching the strike.”
“Condemnation of the US act by Ms. Callamard as the UN Special Rapporteur, an expert and an unbiased lawyer is valuable and the report is now one of the UN documents and will remain for several decades in future,” Baharvand noted on Sunday.
Tehran has consistently alleged that the US committed an “act of war” with the strike on Soleimani.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in January that Tehran “did not think they [the US] would target another country’s guest.” He also slammed the killing as the “martyrdom” of “a great commander of fighting terrorism” after US President Donald Trump claimed the Iranian general was “plotting imminent and sinister attacks on American diplomats and military personnel” – an allegation that was not confirmed by the recent UN investigation.
Arrest warrants for a total of 36 officials connected to Soleimani’s assassination were issued in late June by Tehran’s Prosecutor-General Ali Alqasi-Mehr. The official detailed that the three dozen individuals included Trump and several other “political and military officials of the US and other governments.”
