CAIRO – 17 May 2019: Deputy Head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards Mohammad Saleh Jokar said on Friday that short-range Iranian missiles could reach US warships in the Gulf.

Quoted by the semi-official news agency Fars, Jokar further added that the United States could not afford a new war.

Iran-US tensions have escalated, with increasing concern about a potential conflict as Washington has ratcheted up sanctions and political pressure on Tehran and built up the US military presence in the region.
