Tehran may prolong its war with the United States until President Donald Trump leaves office in 2029, a top Iranian military adviser has said. General Mohammad Reza Naqdi of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps told PBS News Hour that attrition would establish deterrence and make any future US president think twice before attacking Iran. Business Today reports Naqdi claimed Iran is producing more missiles daily than it fires, and warned that if it runs out of missiles it could destroy thousands of US economic interests worldwide. The Hindustan Times adds that Iran has reorganised its military under an 'offensive doctrine' as talks mediated by Pakistan, Turkey and Oman remain deadlocked.
