Tehran, May 2 — Sardar Asadi, deputy inspector of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, warned Saturday that hostilities between Iran and the United States could reignite, Fars News Agency reported. Asadi accused Washington of not honoring agreements and said relations rest on a fragile ceasefire. He added that many US statements are intended to prevent a drop in oil prices and to deflect responsibility for problems they created, and said Iran’s armed forces are fully prepared for any further “adventures or foolishness” by the Americans, according to Fars.
A separate CNN investigation found that recent Iranian missile and drone strikes caused unprecedented damage to US bases across the Gulf region. Camp Buehring in Kuwait — once among the largest US hubs in the Gulf — is now largely empty and heavily damaged after weeks of attacks, CNN reported. Kuwait was one of several US facilities in the Arabian Peninsula targeted amid US and Israeli actions against Iran’s defence capabilities.
CNN reported evidence that strikes damaged at least 16 US installations across eight countries, representing the majority of American positions in the region, and that some sites have been left virtually unusable.
Axios, citing Pentagon estimates, said US enforcement operations in the Gulf of Oman and surrounding maritime routes have cost Iran nearly USD 4.8 billion in oil revenue, significantly tightening financial pressure on Tehran. The Pentagon assessment indicates Iran has been denied close to USD 5 billion in oil earnings because of disruptions tied to US actions targeting sanctioned maritime trade and energy exports, amid ongoing tensions around shipping lanes near the Strait of Hormuz.
