Tehran:

Iran has threatened to use a new weapon in the war against the US and Israeli forces, one of which the enemy forces are "deeply afraid of" and could give them a "heart attack". The warning came after US President Donald Trump rejected Iran's proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for a lift of the US blockade -- a plan that would also postpone discussions on Tehran's nuclear program -- and decided to continue the US naval blockade near the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani said the Islamic Republic will "very soon" confront the enemy forces with a weapon "it is deeply afraid of", according to state-run Press TV.

"And it is right next to them [too]... I hope they won't have a heart attack," he noted in reference to the weapon in question.

He also mocked the Trump administration's strategy to force Tehran to the negotiating table using economic pressure by blocking the Iranian oil trade through Hormuz, saying "enemies" have wrongfully thought they would achieve the results they had sought through their latest bout of unprovoked aggression against Iran "in the shortest possible time."
