Iran’s ‘intensified war’ threat amidst US-Iran tensions; invites SGPC to Khamenei’s mourning ceremony

Iran’s Deputy to the Supreme Leader’s Representative, Mohammad Hossein Ziyaeenia, announced that his country would wage intense war if their terms aren’t accepted, amidst the US and Iran’s two-week attack suspension announcement.

Ziyaeenia arrived at Golden Temple to invite SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami to a mourning ceremony for Ayatullah Sayyid Ali Hussaini Khamenei’s Shahdat (martyrdom) at Iran’s New Delhi Culture House on April 12.

He stated that Iran suffered economic and human losses in a war “not of their choice”, but Iranians didn’t bow to the enemy. Tehran may allow safe vessel transit through the Strait of Hormuz; such decisions are the Iranian government’s prerogative, he added.
